The International Montessori School Berlin (IMS Berlin) is a state-recognised primary school for grades 1–6, located in Landhaus Oppenheim in Wannsee. The campus sits between water and forest and offers an all-day program from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with education and care.

The English-language Cambridge framework underpins the curriculum, and Cambridge Certificates are available for eligible students, issued by Cambridge University. Language immersion and bilingual learning extend across the school, and the site offers on-site forest and nature education. Learning spaces are designed to feel like living areas, with Montessori materials on open shelves and children choosing their work. Extracurriculars include forest afternoons, theatre, choir, taekwondo, a school garden group, and partnerships for sailing and music lessons. The campus includes a bilingual Kinderhaus Wannsee.
