Montessori

We consistently rely on Montessori education because it does justice to the child, maintains the joy of learning and is demonstrably successful.

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.

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.

Participation in all-day offer

Twice a year, the after-school care educators at the International Montessori School Berlin send a large survey about the all-day program to the students. Once in the spring and once in the fall. The results always surprise us with regard to the creative and funny ideas of the children.

School enrolment 2024

Dear children and guests, we will sing a song in a moment, the chorus of which says: We want to get up, approach each other, learn from each other, and interact with each other. Get up, approach each other and not walk away when we don't understand something. I wish you all the same for the next four years at our school. Get up happily every morning, make new friends, learn together, even if you argue, make up and look for solutions.
