The Virgin Islands Montessori School & Peter Gruber International Academy (VIMSIA), located on St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, is an educational institution offering programs from kindergarten through high school. Founded in 1963 by a group of St. Thomas parents who wanted a Montessori-style education for their children, the school has grown into a leading institution in the region. It combines the Montessori method's and hands-on experiences with the International Baccalaureate program at the upper school level, fostering both academic and personal growth.
