Why IMS
In 2002, the idea of opening a school that offered the Montessori curriculum in a Dual-Language setting, was a dream. Today, it is a joy to witness the sheer volume of possibilities IMS enables for each child, and to hear the natural mix of English and Putonghua ringing out in the hallways and classrooms.
Programmes
IMS’ integrated curriculum meets the different development needs for the growing person, giving your child the opportunity to explore their own passions, while guiding them to develop the skills they need to be successful in school and in life. The opportunity to learn in such a natural way could be the greatest gift you can give your child.
Community
As IMS student and faculty numbers grow, so too does the richness of our community. At present our community hails from over 50 countries from around the world.
Every member of our team, together with our parent community is committed to create a collaborative learning community which is deeply rooted in respect and kindness.
Life at IMS
We believe that children are naturally born with the inner directive to meet their own needs and to learn. Our goal at IMS is to embrace this innate drive by providing optimal learning opportunities from an outing run by our older students to dumpling preparation by the little ones. Learning happens everywhere at IMS!
Admissions
A Montessori, Dual-Language programme sounds perfect; however, you may have lots of questions - How does it work? How can you have two teachers using two different languages? Why not visit us and see our children in action to understand the benefits first hand.

"Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core."

Maria Montessori

Visual Arts

The Visual Arts program at IMS is designed to take each student on a journey of exploration. Exploring materials, techniques and the inspiration behind the work of great artists from around the globe. When students learn about art-making practices, using both traditional and contemporary tools, they develop the abilities necessary for self-expression and critical thought. Students not only create images and objects, but also appreciate, enjoy, respect and respond to the practices of art made by others.

Through participation in different units, students will gain knowledge and understanding of art, materials and techniques. This will help to develop their reflection and appreciation skills, plus their creativity and problem-solving skills.

These units include:

Painting

Paper Construction

Printmaking

Sculpture

Ceramics

Recycled Art
