IMS Hong Kong Celebrates 25 Years: Oct 2026, Stanley Campus
The Event, The People & How To Join
2026 Oct 10
The International Montessori School (IMS) celebrates 25 years this year, marking a quarter-century of pioneering authentic bilingual Montessori education across Greater China.
With four campuses across Hong Kong Island, IMS offers a child-driven journey from pre-nursery through Middle School, combining English and Mandarin with hands-on learning, tactile Montessori materials and student-led inquiry.
Instead of a homework-heavy approach, children develop independence, curiosity and confidence at their own pace. With a strong Montessori community and proven pathways to leading international secondary schools, IMS offers a distinctive education from the early years onwards. Attend an Open Day to discover more about what’s on offer.
