Message from the Middle School Principal
Welcome to the Modern Montessori Middle School!
It fills me with joy and pride to walk alongside our students during these exciting middle school years. At the Modern Montessori School, we believe every child carries unique gifts waiting to be discovered and nurtured.
This stage of life is full of curiosity, growth, and possibility. Beyond academics, we are dedicated to supporting our students’ wellbeing, building their confidence, and encouraging kindness, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. Together, we create an environment where they can flourish, not only as learners, but as compassionate, capable individuals ready to take on the future.
Sincerely,
Ayah Na’san
Middle School Principal
About Middle School
The Middle School years at MMS are a time of exploration, growth, and transformation.
As a proud MYP-accredited school, we offer a seamless continuation of the International Baccalaureate journey. Building on the strong foundation laid in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and preparing students for the academic challenges of the Diploma Programme (DP). The Middle Years Programme (MYP) at MMS is both rigorous and empowering, designed to stretch students intellectually while supporting their personal, social, and emotional development.
We understand that the early adolescent years are filled with change: academically, physically, and emotionally. That’s why our program is carefully crafted to meet the evolving needs of students aged 11 to 16. At MMS, we foster a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every learner is encouraged to think critically, act ethically, and grow confidently into who they are becoming.
Our teaching approach is inquiry-driven and student-centered. Through transdisciplinary learning and real-world connections, students are inspired to ask questions, explore different perspectives, and develop a lifelong love for learning. The IB Learner Profile and our MMS Guiding Statements serves as our compass: guiding students to become open-minded communicators, principled thinkers, and reflective individuals with a strong sense of identity and global awareness.
Beyond the Classroom
Learning at MMS Middle School extends far beyond traditional academics. We offer a vibrant range of extracurricular activities through our prized Amin Hasan Award (AHA) Programme, leadership opportunities, a rich athletics programme, and a strong creative arts culture that allow students to explore their passions and talents. Whether they’re performing on stage, competing on the field, designing in our tech labs, or participating in community service, students discover new interests and build the confidence to express themselves.
We encourage every student to take ownership of their learning, make meaningful contributions, and embrace both challenges and collaboration. Our educators act as mentors and guides by always being present to support, inspire, and nurture the whole child.
By the time they leave Middle School, MMS students are not only academically prepared for the IB Diploma Programme, they are self-aware, compassionate, and globally minded individuals ready to take on the world.
