We would like to extend a warm welcome to the Modern American School, website viewers. MAS is a private, co-educational day school for students aged 3-18. Our school is located in one of the most affluent areas of Amman, Jordan.
MAS’s adoption of the internationally recognized American curriculum ensures our students a smooth transition within the American and international school community, and provides them with all of the necessary tools to achieve excellence in grade school through the university level.
Our school’s diverse atmosphere creates a space for our students to develop their characters in an international educational setting. MAS prides itself on instilling the importance of growing to recognize oneself as a global citizen of the world, while also emphasizing the cultural and traditional values that identify each student and bond them with their heritage.
We cater to the individual needs of all students in our multicultural MAS family. Students enter the Modern American School with a variety of different skills given our international school’s culture. We offer specialized language programs such as English as a Second Language (ESL), Arabic as a Second Language (ASL), French Studies courses, and Advanced Placement courses in languages. Additionally, we offer a wide selection of other Advanced Placement courses in core subjects at the high school level as it is in line with our American curriculum. Our students prepare for the SAT I and SAT II exams. As a college preparatory school all our graduates leave MAS to enter some of the most selective universities worldwide.
The diversity that you find amongst our student body and staff has such a positive impact on all persons in our MAS family. The opportunity to meet, work with, and befriend other students, teachers, and administrators from all corners of the globe really opens up the possibility for our students to learn to peacefully coexist with their counterparts as an extra added benefit for their futures.
