An Overview of the Montessori Adolescent Environment and Q&A Session
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.
We will leave about 15 minutes at the end for a thorough Q&A session — bring your questions about your own school, homeschool, or family.
This webinar is for you if you are:
- A parent wondering what Montessori looks like beyond the elementary years
- A guide or teacher preparing to work with adolescents
- A school leader exploring a third plane program
- A homeschooling family bringing Montessori principles into the home
