We are thrilled to honor the fourth graduating cohort of the AMS Curriculum Coaching Academy—a dynamic program created for current or future Early Childhood and Elementary curriculum coordinators who are eager to grow their practice and expand their leadership.
Rooted in the wisdom of Cosmic Education, this AMS Academy provides a rich, spiral learning journey in five key areas: Montessori philosophy, child development, Montessori curriculum, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), as well as the art of Montessori coaching.
These graduates have developed skills and resources to serve as inspiring curriculum coaches and coordinators to support colleagues, strengthen classroom practice, and ensure alignment with Montessori principles. They step forward ready to lead with clarity, compassion, and purpose.
Join us in celebrating these dedicated educators who are shaping the future of Montessori education—one child, one classroom, and one community at a time.
