International Bilingual Montessori School (ibms) e.V. is a bilingual kindergarten and primary school, centrally located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. - All-day primary school - with mixed-age classes and lessons on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. - Everything under one roof - Nido group, children's house and primary school - Central location - in the heart of Frankfurt's city centre, directly opposite the Senckenberg Museum - School's own country house - for numerous activities and and explorations in the great outdoors We offer your children an educational alternative to conventional methods of education - lessons and premises are adapted to the special needs and developmental stage of your children. Children from 18 months to 10 years can playfully learn a second language according to the bilingual Montessori concept. What does bilingual education mean for your child? - Our all-day concept enables all children to speak both languages directly and to use them at any time. - In Nido (children under 3 years) and Children's House (children between 3 and 5 years) we have bilingual groups. Language learning here takes place mainly through everyday communication, games, songs and rhymes. - At school, we teach according to the immersion method: there is always one English-speaking and one German-speaking teacher in the class. Each child has the opportunity to acquire, develop and refine language skills in both languages. What is special about Montessori education? - Montessori education is based on the realisation that people learn best when their own motivation is perceived, supported and encouraged. - Children want to act independently. We enable this through a consistently stimulating and preparatory environment, the Montessori material and our educational attitude. - We support, encourage and accompany each child individually. - Learning together with children of different ages, backgrounds and stages of development supports social behaviour and solidarity.
