AMI – AMI/USA

This is the Montessori moment. It is a learning moment: when a student moves from confusion to elation. Sometimes the moment can be so subtle that you might not even see it unless you’re watching very closely. But however tiny the moment may be, its impact is huge. Children are ready for these moments every day. Every hour. Every minute.

For over 100 years, the Montessori method has been quietly revolutionizing education. By some measures, there are more than 5,000 Montessori schools in the United States and more than 20,000 in 110 countries worldwide. The Montessori method has educated millions of students to become creative, confident, compassionate and gifted leaders throughout the globe.

The current success and broad presence of Montessori is based on a rich history. Dr. Maria Montessori believed wholeheartedly that every child could be an agent for change and peace in the world. By nurturing the intellects and spirits of children, the Montessori method continues to positively affect our collective future.

The Association Montessori International/USA (AMI/USA) upholds Dr. Maria Montessori’s original vision. Through teacher training programs, school recognition and consultation, conferences and events, the MES Fund, Inc. and individual membership opportunities, AMI/USA supports the work of Montessori parents, teachers, administrators and schools. We believe that the Montessori method is more than knowledge; it is “education for life.” It provides inspiration and the hope for a better, more peaceful, society.
