Education For Life
12 months through Grade 12
FROM OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL
Gloria Arpasi
Head of School
Welcome to our beautiful community, six decades later…
Whether your family is already part of Virgin Islands Montessori School & Peter Gruber International Academy (VIMSIA) or exploring the right school for your child’s educational journey, we’re excited to share what makes this place historic and special.
At VIMSIA , we honor the spirit and natural beauty of the island of St. Thomas, and welcome families who want their children to grow into curious, capable, and compassionate global citizens. From our youngest learners at 12 months old through graduating seniors, we are committed to nurturing the whole child: academically, socially, and emotionally. On our 15-acre, solar-powered tropical campus, learning happens everywhere: in classrooms, gardens, other outdoor spaces, and through real-world experiences.
Only a small handful of schools worldwide combine Montessori education with the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum from early childhood through high school, and one of them is right here on our home of St. Thomas! Finding this caliber of school on a small gem of a Caribbean island is an excellent asset for your most precious resource, your children.
Once you walk our campus, you’ll understand why VIMSIA feels like home for so many generations of families and graduates across the world.
