Orientation to Adolescent Studies

The AMI/NAMTA Montessori Orientation to Adolescent Studies offers an overview of Montessori’s approach to adolescents within the framework of human development.

Participants of the Orientation course will learn Montessori theory through both lectures and hands-on experiences. They will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of both Montessori principles and methodology as well as an understanding of the psychology behind adolescent development. They will write papers explaining theoretical principles, discuss readings of Montessori’s writing (as well as the writing of others), and design frameworks for study and work appropriate for their community of adolescents. Finally, they will synthesize their understanding and generate a record of course presentations by compiling an album representing the whole course of study for future use and reference.
