History
From Rome to the world.
Maria Montessori was born in Chiaravalle, Italy, in 1870 and died in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, in 1952. A physician and educator, she was among the first women to graduate in medicine in Italy, and devoted much of her life to observing how children learn.
In 1929, Maria Montessori founded the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) together with her son Mario Montessori, headquartered in Amsterdam, to protect the integrity of her method and support those who put it into practice around the world.
Since then, AMI has accredited training centres and guides across many countries. Montessori México is the affiliated society that represents AMI in the country and upholds that same purpose: making sure that what is taught as Montessori truly is.
Educateurs sans Frontières
Montessori beyond the classroom.
Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF) is a division of AMI: a network of Montessori practitioners who work with communities, governments and other partners to support human development from the prenatal stage into adulthood, and to bring Montessori principles into the wider context of society.
In 2019, Montessori México hosted the 7th Educateurs sans Frontières Assembly in Tepoztlán, Morelos. The idea for HORME came out of that assembly.
