About This Session

Join Montessori for Adolescents for a community presentation and overview of the Montessori adolescent environment. Our team all carry the AMI 12–18 Diploma and have worked in adolescent environments around the globe — from the U.S. to France, to Bali.

  • A homeschooling family bringing Montessori principles into the home
