The International Montessori School (Aldrich Campus)

Set up in 2002, the International Montessori School Aldrich Campus (aka IMS) has been providing children with ample opportunities to develop as well-rounded individuals through its holistic learning and dual-language approach. As a result, pupils in IMS excel as outstanding communicators and independent individuals who are constantly searching for answers in the school’s challenging and stimulating environment.

International Montessori School Aldrich Campus is the home to learning the Montessori system in both English and Potonghua, both in and out of the classroom. The benefits of the Montessori system are apparently visible in both younger and older students: younger students are asserting their ability and willingness to try and do things themselves rather than rely on external helpers, and older students are being inquisitive and asking leading questions, while becoming thoughtful, capable leaders who are driven by responsibility.

The education on offer at IMS is a child-driven approach, in a creative and bilingual environment that feeds the child’s individual desire to learn and discover independently, which in turns feed their self-confidence in taking on and coping with new tasks that comes their way. IMS was established by an invested group of both parents and professionals, who wanted this sort of an education for their children thanks to the recommendation of one of the parents- who experienced the internationally renown Montessori Method as a child.

From the original 2002 campus on Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, the educational home for 68 pioneer batch of pupils aged between 3 years and 12 years old and the first to feature the Montessori education programme in an immersive dual-language approach.
