An affiliate member of the American Montessori Society (AMS), MSB has been educating preschool, reception and elementary students for over 26 years. The school is a sister institution of the International Montessori Teaching Institute (IMTI), which provides ongoing professional training and development to all MSB lead teachers and assistant teachers. At MSB, every child is treated as an individual and our Montessori-based curriculum enables our educators to tailor lessons to each pupil's specific needs and interests. Our warm, nurturing environment, well-designed classrooms, and low student-teacher ratios allow us to bring out the best in each child at every age level, from Nursery to Grade 6. MSB offers Dual-Language and English-Only programmes. Within the Chinese classroom, all lessons and communications are conducted solely in Mandarin. The Dual Language Programme is available from Kindergarten to Grade 6. MSB's Dual Language Programme is unique in Beijing.
