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.
