Our school between water and forest
The International Montessori School Berlin offers pupils in grades 1-6 the best conditions for starting school life. Around 120 children learn with us according to the principles of the reform pedagogue Maria Montessori. They learn German and English through language immersion. The children – no matter which language they speak – are always confronted with both languages. As an open all-day school, we offer education and care from 7.30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Our state-recognised primary school is located in the historic Landhaus Oppenheim, about 5 minutes from Wannsee station.

The children in particular enjoyed trying out the various materials and gaining their first experiences.
School parliament at the IMS
In the first few weeks of each school year, the children elect their class representatives within the learning groups. Taking on such a task is a great responsibility and often raises many questions. A first meeting of these representatives will take place in November 2024, initially led by one of our teachers. The focus will be on getting to know each other, finding a name for this group and planning and conducting the election of the school spokesperson.
