Montessori Global Well-being!

We, as Montessorians, speak of peace and acceptance. We speak of our spiritual preparation and transformation. Yet, how do we advocate and implement effective practices from the organizational level to the school, family & child level that will result in a sense of well-being and flourishing throughout the world?

"Love holds the universe together because love is a real force, not just an idea."

operating in the universe and has not yet been identified
by us.


This universal force is love"

Einstein

"Love is the deep and unwavering commitment to the flourishing of a human"

We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.”
Dr. Maria Montessori

Imagine there's no countries
it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people Livin'
life in peace
You, You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

"An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking;
it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people
to understand the times in
which they live"
Maria Montessori
