Qualification for the German School Chess Championship 2025
As part of our after-school program, chess club takes place once a week. There, for an hour and a half, the participating children have time to get to know this strategic board game and to learn about a wide range of strategies. On March 5, 2025, female students took part in the Berlin School Championship and achieved third place together. Congratulations! With a lot of commitment and joy, they qualified for the German School Championship in Osnabrück.
Open Day
Our school community, consisting of parents, students and teachers, warmly welcomed the guests. The visitors were able to view the learning rooms and experience the Montessori material first hand. 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.
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.
