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.

Nationwide reading aloud day

We at IMS also took part in the nationwide Read Aloud Day on 17 November. Under the motto "everything to do with books and the written word", the children were able to wander through the school building and take part in interesting activities. Teachers and parents offered entertaining workshops - e.g. on bookbinding, storytelling with the Kamishibai and creating their own comics.

Teambuilding

The highlight was the teambuilding with Lena Bergquist, who organised some great games. We were all able to get to know each other better and familiarise with our three new colleagues.

English test

The kids in Mr Mike Brennan’s English class study the language at IMS’s highest level, improving their skills in writing, reading comprehension, listening and, of course, speaking. The aim of the course - which is taken from year 4 to year 6 - is to help the children advance as much as possible, and this year the students again took a final test to assess their progress.
