For decades, The International Montessori School (IMS) has stood as a beacon of authentic, child-centered education in Hong Kong. Today, it embarks on its most ambitious chapter yet. IMS is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever Montessori Middle School programme, establishing Hong Kong’s only complete, authentic Montessori through-train for children aged 1 to 14.
A Leader for a New Era
“What attracted me to IMS was its unique blend of international, dual-language, and Montessori education, along with the chance to help establish the new Middle School,” Dr. Tim shares enthusiastically. His experience working in eight countries brings a valuable global perspective to IMS. “This is especially inspiring, as it allows me to bring together my passion for creating new learning environments with IMS’s vision for authentic, child-centered education.”
The Middle School: A Natural Progression for IMS Graduates
The new Middle School is not just an addition; it’s a seamless extension of the proven IMS journey. It addresses a critical question for parents: What comes after elementary? IMS now provides a clear, continuous path that prepares graduates for the IB, IGCSE, and other leading secondary pathways worldwide.
The two year Middle School Programme is designed to build upon the strong foundation of independence, critical thinking, and academic curiosity that IMS students develop in their youngest years. Within a fully immersive bilingual (English and Mandarin) environment, students will tackle a challenging curriculum that not only prepares them for further academic success but also cultivates the skills and mindset necessary for life. The programme bridges the transition from guided childhood to independent young adulthood, cultivating thinkers, doers, and change makers.
