Montessori Worldwide

‘Today those things which interest us in the field of education are the interests of humanity at large and of civilisation. Before such forces one can recognise only one country – the entire World.’  Maria Montessori.

The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), based in The Netherlands, has a unique role as custodian of the history of the Montessori movement, maintaining the integrity of Maria Montessori’s legacy.

AMI’s mission is to support the natural development of the human being from birth to maturity, enabling children to become the transforming elements of society, leading to a harmonious and peaceful world.

• AMI is identified and sought after nationally and internationally as the cultivator of Montessori philosophy and pedagogy.
• AMI is recognised internationally as an authoritative voice regarding the unique nature of childhood, natural human development and the rights of the child

The Children’s House Primary has mostly AMI trained Directresses and is aligned with AMI in its vision and values.There are many Montessori schools called ‘The Children’s House’ around the world. The reason for the name is that like Maria Montessori’s first school ‘Casa de Bambini’ we are a ‘Children’s House’ set up specifically for the children.
