Beyond ISMS

A Montessori education lays a strong foundation for success in high school and beyond. At ISMS, students develop essential skills such as planning, organisation, time management, inquiry, and independence. These abilities empower them to confidently navigate the academic and social challenges of secondary school.

Through self-directed learning, students cultivate a deep sense of responsibility—not only for their own education but also for their environment and peers. Working in mixed-age classrooms fosters leadership, collaboration, and mentorship, helping students build confidence in working with others. Additionally, Montessori students gain experience in meeting deadlines, managing workloads, and adapting to different teaching styles, ensuring a smooth transition to more structured learning environments.

ISMS graduates consistently highlight how their Montessori background equips them for secondary school. They enter their next phase of education with strong problem-solving abilities, self-motivation, and resilience. The independence and critical thinking fostered in a Montessori setting enable students to advocate for themselves, form meaningful connections, and approach challenges with confidence.

The skills and values nurtured at ISMS extend far beyond the classroom, preparing students not just for academic success, but for life. Montessori education creates adaptable, capable, and self-assured individuals, ready to thrive in secondary school and beyond.

ISMS graduates transition to a wide range of secondary schools in the public, selective and independent sectors.
