A TRADITION OF GENEROSITY

i

IMS Annual Fund

The shared commitment of every member of our community, past and present, to the growth of our School makes truly personalised and adaptive “above and beyond” teaching and learning possible every day. Through the Annual Fund, which is the bedrock of our advancement each year, our incredibly generous friends, parents, grandparents and alumni fuel IMS’ mission and vision for the future. Any financial gift ensures the “Montessori Magic” continues for your child and countless children in the future.

Milestone Achievement: IMS Middle School

We are thrilled to announce that we successfully raised $5 million for the IMS Middle School Fund and have built Hong Kong’s first Montessori Middle School! We could not have done this without your tremendous support and encouragement - and challenging us to continue persevering, against the odds and inertia. This new programme, which came after 10 years of work is such a high point to start our 24th year on, and a wonderful place to welcome our inaugural Head of School, Dr. Timothy Veale to become part of our forward momentum. We cannot thank you enough for the part you have played in keeping the Montessori Magic alive and well, and creating IMS’s future.

Technology

Help your child to explore and develop their passions! Our specialist teachers ensure classrooms and programmes are equipped with the latest innovations—coding robots, digital design tools, and adaptive learning platforms that expand possibilities for every learner.

i

Arts

Nurture your child’s creativity and imagination. Gifts to the arts programme provide new materials, visiting artists, exhibitions, and opportunities for children to experiment with diverse artistic media, from painting and sculpture to digital art and design.

i

Music

Support our robust music programme, where every child is a musician. Donations help us maintain and expand our instrument collections, fund ensembles and performances, and bring in guest musicians to inspire young learners with the joy of music.

i

Sports

Physical activity and teamwork are essential for children’s growth. Contributions to sports programmes support coaching, equipment, and access to sporting facilities so that every child can thrive—whether they’re discovering movement in Foundation or competing in Middle School.

i

Personalised Learning: Wish Lists & Wishing Well

Contributions to our Teacher’s Wish Lists afford every IMS teacher the ability to create materials just for your child to unlock the secret of learning for each child; meanwhile, funds to our Wishing Well allow faculty leaders to make wider campus upgrades.

i

Love to Read: Library Collections

A bedrock of parent giving from our very first Library! Contributions to our library enable us to expand our collection of books and periodicals with new publications each year so that every child learns to read with joy - in both languages.

i

Chinese Development

IMS pioneered the Montessori Chinese programme and continue to create and acquire new materials to elevate our dual-language approach even more each year.

i

IMS Sustainability Initiative

Donations to our environmental projects facilitates each IMS child to act as a steward for a greener future. Your contribution builds a culture of responsibility and care for the planet. Our student-led energy and waste reduction audit will lead to many additional sustainability initiatives.

i

IMS Alumni AMI Training

IMS children are now starting to graduate from university—and who better to return to IMS as teachers than our own alumni? We are funding IMS alumni to pursue AMI teaching degrees, inspiring a new generation of Montessori educators to continue the legacy.

Additional Giving Opportunities :

In addition to our ongoing enhancements supported by the Annual Fund, constructing our Middle School Wing costs exceeded the original budget, and delayed work after the 2023 typhoon destroyed our beloved banyan tree in the back playground. This re-imagined new play space and garden ($1.5 million) will be used by all Stanley children, and we would deeply value your support through additional giving above and beyond the Annual Fund Goal.
