What is AMI?

Creo Montessori is recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). A school or teacher training program that carries the AMI name is continuing the tradition of quality first established by Dr. Montessori, a tradition that incorporates standards based directly on Dr. Montessori's work.

Headquartered in Amsterdam, it is the oldest, worldwide organization to champion the Montessori method and is recognized as the leading authority on Montessori education.

AMI was formed in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori to ensure that her philosophy and approach to education would be carried on as she intended. Dr. Montessori's goal was to foster the full development of the human being.
