“We primarily joined the school for the Spanish language immersion but we were delighted to see how our boy thrived in the Montessori system. He amazes our friends and us when he has conversations about the birds of North Carolina and the planets of the solar system. This is the great job of his dedicated and creative teachers at IMS.”
