Our Team
From the very foundation of IMS, every single member of staff has been carefully chosen to ensure this nurturing environment continues, and that each child experiences the same opportunity to grow and develop into their own best self, naturally. Today, our community of teaching staff hails from all corners of the world.
We know that Montessori isn’t simply a method of education. It is a philosophy of life, and one where those preparing the environment must truly believe that the child can be guided to make increasingly complex choices and decisions which are critical at each step on their own journey of discovery, moving step by step towards independence, from birth to adulthood.
Every member of our team, from teacher in the classroom to support team is committed to creating a collaborative learning community which is deeply rooted in respect and kindness, where learning and discovery and becoming our best self is part of what we do every day.

"The IMS community is vibrant and diverse, with curious and eager children, supportive parents and passionate coworkers. It has been a great place to pursue Montessori and to explore Hong Kong and Asia!"
Matthew Sneyd, Director of Development
"IMS has experienced an inspiring level of growth, energized by a desire for Dual-Language immersion in a truly child-centred environment. It is amazing to come to work each day knowing that your only job is to do good things for children."

"Working in Stanley campus is a great way to connect with yourself. It is located in the coastal area where you can easily get to the beach and the mountain. Nature is the greatest inspiration to see the beauty in the world. The school provides a calm and lovely green environment to let teacher see the beauty in each student. I am very lucky to work here."
