The International Montessori School operates as an IMEF School; The International Montessori Education Foundation Limited (IMEF) provides funding and governance for IMS. IMEF and IMS are charitable institutions mentioned in Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap.112). The IMS Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) was established in 2002 to engage parents in school life.
The International Montessori School (IMS) operates four Hong Kong Island campuses, including Aldrich Bay, and offers an authentic Montessori education with full-time bilingual immersion (English and Putonghua) and AMI-trained teachers in every classroom. Families can see early-years Montessori in action at Aldrich Bay through small-group, 18–30-month trial sessions guided by both English- and Putonghua-speaking teachers. Across IMS, the curriculum spans ages 1–14, with Elementary featuring an integrated, inquiry-driven programme and daily level-grouped Chinese lessons (45 minutes). IMS provides a contracted school bus network on Hong Kong Island; uniforms are required in Casa dei Bambini and Elementary. A distinctive feature is IMS’s bilingual Montessori pathway delivered across multiple campuses with AMI expertise—unusual in Hong Kong—supported by opportunities such as Model United Nations, student-run clubs, and community service in Elementary.
