Modern Montessori School
IB continuum school in Khalda offering Montessori methodology in kindergarten through to the IB Diploma, founded in 1985 and now part of the Inspired Education Group. One of the largest IB schools in Jordan, with around 1,650 students from 25…
In brief
A Khalda school founded in 1985 by Randa Amin Hasan that grew from a Montessori kindergarten into a full IB Continuum school running PYP, MYP and the Diploma.
Around 1,650 students from age three to eighteen, on a 24,000 square metre campus on Thabet Ben Dinar Street. The Montessori grounding in the early years is the real selling point, and the IB programmes from primary through to Diploma sit on top of that. Was the second school in Jordan to authorise the IB DP, in 1998. CIS accredited.
Parent voice on the early years is consistently warm: prepared independence, strong teacher-child relationships, smooth transition into primary. The standout practical issue is traffic and parking around drop-off and pick-up in Khalda, which several families flag as a daily friction. Fees JOD 4,400 to 11,600. Intake is largely local Jordanian, with some returning diaspora.

Reviews
- Online testimony is limited and split between strong praise for early years and criticism around traffic and parking at the Khalda site.
- Positive feedback singles out the kindergarten programme. One parent described it as a great kindergarten that prepares children well for primary, develops personality and respects both children and parents while being academically strong.
- Recurring negative is the daily commute. One parent reported suffering from the same traffic and parking issue around the school for two years.
- The school runs an unusual through-route: Montessori Early Childhood from Nursery to KG2, a bilingual English/Arabic programme through Grade 8, a pre-IB Bridge Years pathway in Grades 9-10 and full IB Diploma in Grades 11-12.
- Authorisation footprint is concrete: IB World School and ICME accreditation, on a 24,000 sqm Khalda campus.

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.
