Our Story
In 2008, a group of passionate Montessori educators across Asia recognized the need for a collaborative platform to exchange ideas and experiences related to Montessori philosophy and teaching methods.
Inspired by the diverse cultural, economic, and familial landscapes of the Asian region, these educators organized periodic symposiums and conferences. As the community thrived and expanded, a collective vision for a more organized and formalized structure emerged.
After successfully hosting ten conferences in various Asian countries, the decision was made to establish the Asia Montessori Association officially. This association, rooted in a commitment to fostering collaboration, provides a unified platform for educators to share insights and enhance the Montessori experience for children in the dynamic Asian context.
Serving as a bridge to collaborate with different teaching methods, the association embraces a holistic approach to education, contributing to the diverse tapestry of learning across the region.
