The Stanley Campus is located at Phase III Ma Hang Estate, Stanley, Hong Kong. It is an airy campus off Stanley Plaza, surrounded by flora and fauna, with opportunities for nature walks, discovery, and research. The campus serves children aged 2-14. The IMS bilingual Montessori program is taught in English and Putonghua across classrooms.
Outdoor camps are offered for Elementary students; Lower Elementary participate in a 1-day camp, while Upper Elementary enjoy an extended 3-day-2-night camp, supervised by IMS staff. IMS is a founding member of the Asia Pacific Schools Sports Organisation (APSSO) and participates in regular sports tournaments with teams from Grade 3 onward in football, basketball and netball, with coaching provided. Montessori Model United Nations provides Upper Elementary students with the opportunity to act as delegates at a global conference.
IMS Stanley is the south-side home of Hong Kong’s first through-train bilingual Montessori school, founded in 2002. The campus sits beside Stanley Plaza and the promenade, giving classes ready access to parks and the beach for nature-based inquiry. Teaching is fully bilingual with one English-speaking and one Putonghua-speaking teacher in each classroom; in Elementary, children also join small-group Chinese lessons by ability. Programmes at Stanley span ages 2–14, including Elementary (6–12) and Middle School (12–14). Students join student-led clubs, represent IMS in APSSO sports from Grade 3, and Upper Elementary can take part in Montessori Model United Nations. The Casa (3–6) teacher–student ratio is 2:25. IMS contracts a bus network across Hong Kong Island and publishes fees and other costs on its site.
