Anami Montessori - Recognized by AMI
| |
|
Anami Montessori School enjoys its annually-renewed recognition by the Association Montessori International (AMI), the only organization Dr. Maria Montessori initiated to protect her teaching philosophy. Because any school may call itself a Montessori school, the AMI Certificate of Recognition offers credibility to a school’s status not only within the educational community as a whole but also in the Montessori community. AMI recognition is the hallmark of a Montessori school that staunchly supports the Montessori principles and faithfully puts them into practice.
Some of the criteria schools must meet in order for consideration within the AMI community are:
- One AMI trained teacher at the appropriate age level is in each class.
- Assistants, if present, are non-teaching aides.
- A consultation by an AMI trained consultant is conducted at least once every three years.
- A complete set of materials from an AMI authorized manufacturer, according to AMI training, is in each classroom.
- The philosophical approach is consistent with what is presented in AMI training courses:
- Classes made up of children representing at least a three year age range (ages listed are approximate):
Primary: 3 – 6 years
Elementary: 6 – 12 years (6–9, 9–12, or 6–12)
- Classes include a well-balanced division of ages as well as an appropriate number of children to ensure social development.
- Classes are scheduled five days/week with substantial uninterrupted work periods provided each day.
- An extended day (afternoon period in addition to mornings) is provided five days/week for the older children in a primary class as well as the elementary children.
