Why San Roque families choose IMS
Our story began here: Olimpia Tardá opened her first centre in San Roque in 2001.
The municipality’s accredited Montessori
AMI, NEASC and Junta de Andalucía. ‘Montessori-inspired’ and accredited are not the same thing.
Bilingualism lived, not taught
Half the day in Spanish, half in English, from 4 months. French from age 3.
A report every Friday
You know each week what your child worked on — plus three parent meetings a year.
Getting here is the easy part
Sotomarket (above Mercadona), directly off the A-7.
Relocating to the area? We help with that too
Finding a school and a home at the same time is a lot. We help with the second: honest guidance on the areas where our families live (Sotogrande, La Alcaidesa, Guadiaro, Pueblo Nuevo, Torreguadiaro…) and support throughout your move, with our trusted local contacts.
What families say
«Seeing our daughter come home excitedly telling us about every discovery says it all: this is her place.»
«The team respects each child’s pace in a way we had never seen. My son comes home more confident every day.»
«The care and beauty in every corner moves me. It is a school made with soul — and my daughters live it every day.»
One project, three stages
No school changes: your child grows within one project from 4 months to age 12.
Children’s House · 3-6
Practical life, early literacy and daily bilingual immersion.
