Association Montessori Internationale – AMI



The Association Montessori Internationale recognition offers credibility to a school’s status within the education community as a whole and confirms a staunch support of Montessori principles faithfully put into practice. The AMI pedagogical standards for schools ensure that each school is offering programs for their children that allow for their full intellectual, social, and psychological growth.

The school recognition program provides assurance to prospective parents that the school upholds the AMI standards, which were derived from Dr. Maria Montessori’s original pedagogical methods based on her years of work with children.  These standards are the hallmark of an AMI school.  Because the preparation of the adult is the most important aspect of a Montessori environment, the  training of the teachers in an AMI school consititutes the most significant standard of school recognition.
