Higher Education & Research
Led by Dr. Laura Golnabi, the Higher Education & Research (HER) Team bridges research and classroom practice across the IMS network. Through curriculum development, educator training, family engagement, behavioral guidance, and student progress monitoring, the team ensures that every IMS environment reflects the latest insights in Montessori and immersion education. Their work also extends beyond the classroom through the Flow Learning Center, advancing innovation and lifelong learning for children, educators, and families alike.

IMS Co-Ownership Model
At Immersion Montessori School, we believe that those closest to the classroom should have the opportunity to lead it. Our co-ownership model empowers passionate educators to become school leaders and partners, combining their local expertise with IMS’s global support network. As co-investors, IMS provides the financial resources to launch and sustain thriving Montessori centers while offering professional development, training, and mentorship that prepare educators to open and successfully operate their own schools. We also provide comprehensive guidance on licensing and ordinances, ensuring that each center meets all requirements, and share operational resources and systems that help local partners navigate administration, staffing, and community engagement—avoiding the challenges of single ownership. Together, IMS and its partners create schools that are locally rooted, globally connected, and led by empowered educators shaping their own Montessori communities. This global network also allows families and staff to participate in exchange opportunities, building lasting cross-cultural connections across IMS campuses worldwide.
