MODERN AMERICAN SCHOOL
2015
Their Majesties King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al-Abdullah
G
lobal learning and awareness has come to the forefront of every aspect of education. As our students will seek careers and influence from every corner of the world, Modern American School is a steward for high academic achievement intertwined with international unity and life skills that will serve them while in school and beyond. Our students feel a sense of place as well as pride in knowing that they are being provided with all the elements of authentic learning which will carry them anywhere that they wish to go. As expressed through our philosophy, Modern American School believes that all students should be challenged to develop to their fullest potential and pursue excellence in all aspects of their lives including a sense of responsibility, self-discipline, respect for self and others. We strive to develop each student into an outstanding adult, with all the knowledge and technical abilities to pursue future educational goals and lifelong learning. Our theme this year was “Today’s Learners, Tomorrow’s Leaders”. We selected this theme because we believe in the potential and the ability of each child. We are proud of every one of our current and past students and we celebrate the many successes that all of them have achieved. The experiences and opportunities at MAS provides all our students with a positive self-image, a spirit of internationalism and the mindset that they will be the leaders of tomorrow. From Kindergarten to High School and beyond, our graduates are shaped through an American curriculum, a national culture and the recognition that their generations will have virtually no limits to their accomplishments. We look to them as our future and to being wellrounded, well-educated, enlightened and responsible citizens of the world.

reetings to all! This has been a very productive and exciting year at the Modern American School.
As the KG Principal, I appreciate the premise that an individual’s cumulative actions can result in a fantastic end product. At MAS, we have taken this even further. We have done so collectively and I can only pay tribute to the outcome. It has been a remarkable journey this year and our school has grown stronger. Our focus this year has been to raise the bar of academics and push our students to excel in reading, writing, and mathematics. We worked hard on their

presentation skills and encouraged our students to communicate more, both socially and in front of audiences. We have experienced exceptional moments, magical moments and created memories that will be fondly remembered in the years ahead. Henry Ford wisely said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress and working together is success.” As I look back over this year, certainly there was a beginning, and thankfully there was also progress and yes - undeniably we have been successful! How proud we are of the successes that our students have had and the opportunities they were offered. May your years ahead continue to be characterized by empathy, compassion, objectivity and a willingness to take risks. May you always lead by example and work hard and play straight. May your successes be many and your tribulations be few and far between. We wish you everything that you so richly deserve in the years ahead. It has been an honor and a privilege watching your progress and success! Have a wonderful summer vacation.

Elementary School
Laurenda Elouattassi Elementary School Principal
It’s been a great year! What a school! At Modern American School together we’ve learned so much and shared experiences that will long remain with us in the years to come. The strength of our community and wholehearted passion to make our school a wonderful place of learning for our children primarily but for all of us makes Modern American School truly a special place. As the year comes to an end, I want to thank all of the Elementary School staff, parents, and students for making this year such a success. Our students are each special in their own ways and have so much to give to others. We are very proud of each and every one of them. Our theme this year was “Today’s Learners, Tomorrows Leaders”. Our focus was on literacy in order to encourage
the simple enjoyment of reading a book. Students were able to participate in our Reading Competitions in November and March. We utilized our eBooks, independent reading logs, and the library to enhance their reading skills. We had had many special activities in which the students and parents were able to participate in, such as; The Quiz Show, Spelling Bee, Honor Roll, Talent Show, Overnight Camp, Student of the Month, Scholar Dollar Store and The Telematch. To those of you who are leaving us for new places and adventures, we wish you all the best. Congratulations to our very capable 4th graders who are onto a new stage in their academic career! Enjoy a relaxing summer with your families!
