AMS SUPPORTS PUBLIC MONTESSORI SCHOOLS

Public Montessori schools provide an important component in Montessori’s vision toward educating the children of the world. Across the United States dedicated Montessori teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and parents work to provide quality public Montessori schools - serving a great cross section of today’s population. Public Montessori school classrooms reflect a commitment toward whole-child development, as well as academic achievement, problem solving and peace education within diverse communities.

AMS recognizes the important role public Montessori schools have in serving today’s children and families as well as providing a model of educational reform.

AMS supports public Montessori schools through public school tracks at the annual conferences, the Public Montessori School On-Line Bulletin Board, and representatives on the AMS board of directors who work extensively with or in public schools. AMS also makes an effort to hold at least one Touring Symposium each year in a public Montessori school.

The following information and links are intended to support the planning and development of quality public Montessori schools and to help educate the public about Montessori education.
