From a recent correspondance:
Dear Affiliates,
We are writing to inform you that the school, The Montessori Place, in East Sussex, England will be starting a Montessori Adolescent Programme in September 2017. In celebration of this Montessori milestone, the school is offering 6 free places to one 12- 14 year old from each of the 6 inhabited continents, and have contacted AMI HQ to ask that we circulate this letter to all of the affiliated societies.
The students’ tuition fees, accommodation and food will be covered, though they will be responsible for their own travel costs. There is an application process which consists of an essay, a self-assessment, and an assessment by their teacher. The first step would be to write to the school administration, with a request for an application pack and for more information via:
In view of the foregoing, we kindly ask that you pass on this message to your membership and Elementary schools around the country, as this is a wonderful opportunity for 12-14 year old who would like to continue their Montessori journey, but are unable to, either because there is no adolescent programme in their country, or because they cannot afford to. Please would you send on this information and poster (attached below) to the Elementary schools in your country, and also to your membership base if you would like.
Any question(s) that you may have regarding the above please contact AMI via return e-mail or Paul Pillai via:
Thank you.
Sincerely,
