If a school is recognized by AMI, your child will be engaged in the authentic Montessori experience developed by Maria Montessori. Schools with an AMI Certificate of Recognition have undergone a rigorous review process. When you visit an AMI Montessori school, regardless of location, you will see the same standards applied.

Has an appropriate number of children to insure social development.
