Born from a Parents’ Initiative
ibms was founded in 1996 as the first bilingual school in Frankfurt am Main. It emerged from the International Montessori PreSchool, which had already been established in 1992 by committed parents.
Driven by the desire for a school where children are seen as individuals, respected, and supported bilingually, this parents’ initiative grew into an international school community that continues to be shaped by engaged families to this day
A School in Parents’ Hands
ibms is run by a non-profit sponsoring association. Education — not profit — is at the heart of every decision.
The association consists predominantly of ibms parents. Through the general assembly, parents actively participate, contribute ideas, and make decisions about key developments of the school. This creates a close partnership between families and school leadership.
Our Board
The board of the sponsoring association is made up of parents and former parents of ibms. They serve on a voluntary basis and take responsibility for the strategic, financial, and organizational direction of the school — always with a clear focus: the well-being of the children
and the ibms staff.
