Upper Elementary students participate in Montessori Model United Nations, a year-long program in which they act as delegates at a global conference that simulates the United Nations. They prepare and debate on current societal issues with guidance from a teacher mentor and peers from around the world. This activity develops research, critical thinking, and public-speaking skills in an international context.
Montessori Model United Nations also builds leadership and public-speaking skills, collaboration, and strategic thinking as students work with mentors and peers. The experience emphasizes teamwork and professional communication in an international setting.
Lower Elementary students participate in a 1-day camp, while Upper Elementary students engage in a 3-day, 2-night camp supervised by IMS faculty and camp leaders. IMS participates in regular sports tournaments through the Asia Pacific Schools Sports Organisation, with teams in football, basketball, and netball, supported by ongoing coaching and tournament play.
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.
