The IMS is an all-day school and is open from 7:30 to 18:00. After early care and breakfast club, classes begin between 8:30 and 9:00 am. The largest part of the lessons in the morning is free work.
At lunchtime, the Landhaus Oppenheim offers various places to take a break in the cafeteria, on the veranda or in the quiet garden. The varied, wholesome lunch with a high organic content comes from a regional caterer who specialises in catering for day-care centres and schools. The children take part in the meal selection.
During meal breaks, the children are supervised by our long-time employee and catering manager “Ron” James Waitherero. James also supports the Montessori idea of “helping people to help themselves” in his work. Even the youngest children actively set the table, pour drinks, put food on the plates and clear the table again after they have had a snack. This high-quality catering is rounded off by fresh fruit and vegetables in the afternoon on the school grounds. This gives extra energy and vitamins.
