International Montessori School Copenhagen (IMS) is an international Montessori school in Skovlunde, Copenhagen, serving ages 3 to 15. The curriculum is Montessori-based, with Preschool (2½–5), Lower and Upper Elementary (5½–12+), and Middle School (12½–15). English is the main language of instruction; Danish is taught as a second language in small, level-based groups. The Preschool program opened in February 2023, and the school later expanded to offer elementary and middle-school programs; in 2023 the Danish Ministry of Education approved IMS's Montessori approach. The campus is in the same building as an independent preschool at Dyregårdsvej 5. The school emphasizes a democratic, value-centered environment and hands-on learning across nine areas in preschool, plus comprehensive subjects in elementary. Danish Fælles Mål align with Montessori pedagogy, and progress is recorded weekly for families via Montessori Compass. An Adolescent Program (Montessori-IB mix) is planned for 2027 if enrollment supports it.
