Message from the Senior School Principal & Director of Academic Affairs

Dear Parents,
Welcome to the Senior School at the Modern Montessori School: a vibrant academic community where excellence meets purpose, and where every student is guided toward a future filled with opportunity, confidence, and achievement.

 

Our IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) College is widely recognized for its outstanding results and its commitment to nurturing students who are ready to thrive at top universities around the world. But beyond our academic success, what truly defines us is the holistic development we foster in each learner. Through a world-class curriculum and a values-driven environment, our students grow not only in knowledge, but in character, empathy, and resilience.

 

At the heart of our Senior School is a team of exceptionally dedicated and experienced educators, many of whom bring years of expertise and leadership within the International Baccalaureate community. Their deep commitment to high standards, mentorship, and meaningful learning helps each student reach their full potential, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
Our classrooms are alive with inquiry, dialogue, and inspiration. We offer one of the broadest ranges of DP subjects in the country, allowing our students to shape their academic paths with confidence and clarity. Whether in the sciences, arts, languages, or humanities, every subject is taught with care, rigor, and relevance.

 

But learning at MMS Senior School goes far beyond academics. We place great emphasis on developing well-rounded, globally minded individuals through creative arts, extracurricular activities, service learning, leadership initiatives, and intercultural engagement. We believe education should empower students to think critically, care deeply, and act meaningfully: both within their local communities and on the world stage.

 

Above all, our school culture is built on collaboration, respect, and belonging. Parents, students, faculty, and administrators work closely together to ensure that every young person is supported, challenged, and celebrated throughout their journey.

 

It is our privilege to partner with you during these defining years of your child’s life. We look forward to continuing this legacy.

About Our Senior School

At the Modern Montessori School, Senior School is the culmination of a transformative educational journey where students step into their full potential, academically and personally.
As one of Jordan’s pioneering IB World Schools, MMS has proudly offered the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) since 1998: becoming the second school in the country to do so and amongst only a handful in the region. Over the years, our students have consistently achieved some of the highest academic results in the nation, earning placements at top universities across the globe.


The IB Diploma Programme is a globally respected, academically rigorous two-year curriculum for students aged 16 to 19 (Grades 11 & 12). Designed to develop critical thinkers, effective communicators, and compassionate leaders, the DP supports students’ intellectual, emotional, social, and physical well-being, preparing them not just for university, but for life.

At MMS, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We offer one of the widest ranges of DP subjects in the country, allowing students to tailor their studies to align with their passions, strengths, and future goals. From sciences and humanities to arts, business, and languages, every student can find a path that excites and challenges them.

 

What truly sets our Senior School apart is the exceptional quality of teaching. The majority of our DP educators are highly experienced in the IB framework, with extensive professional portfolios and a deep understanding of what it takes to inspire excellence. Our faculty members don’t just teach, they mentor, motivate, and model what it means to be lifelong learners.

 

A Culture of Excellence and Growth

Beyond the academic rigor, Senior School at MMS nurtures the whole student. Through creative arts, extracurricular programs (CAS), leadership initiatives, and community engagement, students are encouraged to think beyond the classroom and engage meaningfully with the world around them. We challenge our learners to grow in character, confidence, and compassion: essential qualities for thriving in a fast-changing, interconnected global society.

 

By the time they graduate, MMS students are more than just DP achievers. They are well-rounded, reflective, and resilient young adults ready to take on the next chapter of their lives with purpose and pride.
