| curriculum_planning | "The school pioneers a unique, individually tailored Chinese curriculum based on Montessori’s multi-sensory and interactive approach, and is considered one of the world’s leading Montessori dual-language programmes. Located on four campuses across Hong Kong Island, IMS is the only accredited Montessori primary school in Greater China, serving children up to 14 years from over 40 countries." |

| learning_or_teaching_approach_and_activities | "Each IMS classroom is led by a team of two, an English-speaking and a Putonghua-speaking teacher, and is carefully designed to give children opportunities to engage in meaningful learning with the proper balance of autonomy and guidance. Activities in the bilingual Foundations Groups (ages 2-3) encourage toddlers to explore creatively, in a cosy, language-rich and highly interactive environment–the best preparation for learning. The Casa dei Bambini programme (ages 3-6) supports children in moving towards a mastery of self and the environment. The IMS elementary programme (ages 6-12) encourages children to learn all subjects from many directions through all disciplines by taking full advantage of their developing capacity to reason. IMS Middle School is Hong Kong’s only Montessori programme for adolescents aged 12–14. Its bilingual, multi-age environment combines inquiry and project-based learning, tailored to support this transformative stage of development. IMS graduates successfully stream into top international secondary schools in Hong Kong and around the world, with enhanced academic and social skills, and a very strong foundation in both Chinese and English. The Montessori Primary Years curriculum begins from a strong academic foundation, and explores an integrated view of all disciplines. Students are closely guided to follow their own interests, and extend their learning to the world outside the classroom, resulting in strongly motivated students who take ownership and responsibility for their own learning, a key measure for future success. Stanley Campus (ages 2-14), is the largest IMS campus, and filled with bright and open classes including specialized Chinese rooms, art room, music and dance studio, a large indoor hall and sports area, and playgrounds for its Foundation Groups, Casa dei Bambini (Kindergarten) and Primary students. Outside of the classroom, the IMS students of the Stanley campus also benefit from our new Native Language Lessons program, along with opportunities for sailing, robotics, sports, arts, dance, cooking and many more." |

| support_to_students | "Academic Support: Second language learners are supported well in a multi-age, bilingual classroom, where they can be successful in social settings while gaining confidence in English or Chinese. Admissions after age 6 may require additional support for English language learning. IMS classrooms provide a natural language environment for the natural acquisition of language, supporting fluency in both languages." |

| support_to_students_with_special_needs | "For needs beyond ESL, IMS may require a therapist or psycho-educational evaluation to assist in the application process and determine the type of special support needed to support the individual child. In many such cases, additional support by a Montessori teacher or an assistant is required for some period of time in order to assist the child to meet academic targets." |
