Twenty-five years after he has graduated, King Abdullah II
of Jordan, a graduate from Deerfield Academy
in Massachusetts in 1980 is commissioning a
coeducational boarding school in Manja,
Jordan, modeled
on his alma mater. The school will be called King’s Academy and will be opening
sometime next fall.
Founded in 1797, Deerfield
is one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country. According to its
Web site, the school's mission is "to educate young people … so that they
become responsible, contributing citizens and fulfilled human beings."
Abdullah is hoping to apply what he has learned through his experience at
Deerfield to his own in an attempt to show that we can all get along, building
a younger generation who can take over the duties of their parents but with an
open mind.
