Primary School

Message from Primary School Principal

Welcome to the Modern Montessori School Primary School!

Once you step into our campus, you’ll immediately feel it: the warmth, the energy, the unmistakable joy radiating from our students. Here at MMS, learning is not just a task, it’s an adventure. Our children are encouraged to explore, inquire, and grow freely and confidently. This spirit of independence and discovery nurtures a deep sense of belonging. Our students don’t just attend MMS, they love being part of it.

Our dedicated and compassionate team of educators is the heartbeat of our school. With care, commitment, and creativity, they guide each learner toward academic success and personal growth. We believe that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported, not just as a student, but as a whole person. Every day, we strive to cultivate thinkers, communicators, and kind-hearted global citizens who embody the values of the IB Learner Profile and the MMS.

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) at MMS is more than a curriculum, it’s a journey. One filled with curiosity, collaboration, and meaningful learning experiences that leave lasting impressions. We are proud to offer a child-centered environment where students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning and inspired to make a difference in the world around them.

I invite you to explore what makes our Primary School so special: a place where joy and learning go hand in hand, and where every child is encouraged to dream big, act kindly, and grow with purpose.

Sincerely,

Nour El-Khub-Primary School Principal

About Primary School

"Please don't do it for me, teach me how to do it myself. Help me inquire into myself as a learner."
– Maria Montessori

At the MMS Primary School, we bring Maria Montessori’s timeless vision to life through the globally recognized Primary Years Programme (PYP). Both philosophies place the child at the center of the learning experience by encouraging independence, curiosity, and purposeful exploration.

As a PYP-accredited institution, we empower students to grow into bilingual, internationally-minded citizens. Our teachers strike a thoughtful balance between giving students the freedom to explore and the guidance to grow fostering inquiry, self-confidence, and global awareness.

Learning at MMS goes beyond textbooks. Our students dive into transdisciplinary themes that connect traditional subjects to real-world issues, locally and globally. They ask big questions, engage in meaningful projects, and collaborate across differences.

Through diverse classroom experiences and extracurricular activities, students regularly interact with peers from all walks of life. They learn to value their own cultural identity, while gaining a deep appreciation for the perspectives and values of others.

We place a strong emphasis on positive social behavior, responsibility, and self-reflection. Students are not only encouraged to take charge of their learning, but also to recognize the impact they have on their community and the world.

Every day at MMS Primary is a step toward raising lifelong learners and future leaders: inspired, compassionate, and ready for whatever comes next.
