What it entails

The AMI 12-18 Orientation is a 4-day workshop providing foundational Montessori theory and methodology for understanding the work with adolescents (12-18 years). Lecture topics focus on describing the developmental needs of the adolescent and the components of an adolescent program, including the prepared environment, the role of the adult, and the plan of study and work.

The course provides a vision of a Montessori adolescent community. Participants will have received information regarding the key elements of an engaging adolescent environment.

This course is optimal if you are, for example; an assistant, music teacher or math specialist, maybe you work with another age group but is curious about 12-18, maybe you are a parent thinking about which possibilities there are for your child/adolescent or maybe you are entirely new to Montessori? This course is a good introduction before taking the full 12-18 diploma course.

Participants will receive an AMI certification upon completion of the orientation.

The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind. If we therefore mind this embryo as our most precious treasure, we will be working for the greatness of humanity."
