What our Members are Saying About School Membership


Eliana Jaoude

"The most valuable experience I had with being an AMS member is the support I received as a school leader during the pandemic. Our weekly meetings gave me a safe haven to share my challenges and learn from leaders and educators around the world about how they were navigating and enduring the same stress and frustration in reopening schools safely while continuing to ensure a good Montessori education for our children."

Eliana Jaoude
Head of School, Reston Montessori School


Juliet King

“As a small, public Montessori school, we felt it was important to join the American Montessori Society in order for our school to become a part of the larger Montessori community and also to be recognized as adhering to acceptable Montessori standards.”

Juliet King
Co-Founder/Co-Director, Coral Reef Montessori Academy Charter


Gwen Harris

“AMS supports high level expectations and accountability for our practices. The resources that are made available to both our staff and our families are a valuable piece of our continuous learning path. As challenges arise, knowing there is a support system that gives a starting point reduces so much of the initial time it would take to research resources on our own.”

Gwen Harris
Head of School, Crystal Lake Montessori School
