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.

Reading Day at the IMS
On Thursday, November 21, 2024, Reading Day took place at IMS. All learning groups enjoyed participating in various activities and were able to let their creativity run free. The students received an overview of the activities a few days before and were able to decide what they were interested in on Reading Day.
St Martin lanterns at IMS
St. Martin “Lantern, Lantern, Sun, Moon and Stars” – that's how it sounded on Wednesday evening in the courtyard of the IMS for all kindergarten children and for all younger school children. Mr. Delport opened the traditional festival with a few words and briefly explained the story of St. Martin. With joy and singing, all children and parents made their way to the Wannsee. The lanterns glowed among all the people, young and old, creating a magical atmosphere. After sharing many St. Martin's croissants, the procession made its way back through the streets to the schoolyard, where some parents were waiting with punch. The festival will remain a happy memory for many children, and we would like to thank all those who helped to make it a success.
Inventions far at the IMS
Our school's invention fair was a great success! Students in grades 4-6 explored famous inventors and inventions as part of our first fall semester unit. They then designed their own inventions to address global challenges. Each student created a prototype and a bilingual English German poster explaining their invention. Parents and younger students from grades 1-3 joined us on October 18th in the Tourmaline and Aquamarine classrooms to see the creative solutions firsthand. We had a fantastic turnout, and the students proudly presented their projects with enthusiasm.
