Elementary instruction is in Chinese, with English literacy support through the Guided Reading program and daily Intensive Chinese instruction. Early Childhood offers an English-Only class for ages 3–6 and the Global Hanyu Program for Chinese language development. Middle School offers an Intensive Language program in English and Chinese and may include a third language as study advances. Teachers are trained in EAL teaching techniques to support native and non-native English speakers.

The International Montessori School of Beijing (MSB) was founded in 1990 and serves children from infancy through to age 18. The campus sits in a villa area along Jingmi Road at the boundary between Chaoyang and Shunyi districts, which the school describes as convenient for families living both in the city and in suburbs. MSB offers Montessori-based programs across early years and primary grades, bilingual (Chinese/English) and English-only tracks, an IB Middle Years (MYP) pathway in middle school, and—through a 2025 partnership—an American-style high school pathway. Facilities listed on the school site include dedicated art and music studios, science laboratories and multiple outdoor sports courts and fields. Class sizes are capped (classes capped at 22; student–adult ratios published for early years and other sections), and the school publishes full tuition schedules on its website. The school website does not publish a named principal on its public team/contact pages.
