About this school
The International Montessori School (IMS) opened in 2002 on Queen's Road East with 68 children and describes itself as Hong Kong's first accredited bilingual Montessori school, and Greater China's first through-train Montessori school. It now serves close to 1,000 children aged 1 to 14 across four campuses, and was the first IMC-accredited Montessori through-train school in Hong Kong.
Every classroom has English and Putonghua teachers, so children receive the same Montessori lessons in both languages throughout the day. Teachers are trained by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). Programmes run from Montessori First Steps (ages 1-2) and toddler Foundation groups through Casa dei Bambini and Elementary to a Montessori Middle School for Grades 7-8, with hands-on, self-paced learning.
The South Horizons campus on Ap Lei Chau is one minute from South Horizons MTR station and opens onto a seaside community playground. It houses IMS's youngest students; when it opened it became the school's flagship site, with room for up to 200 children.
