Living Legacy Scholarship Fund
The American Montessori Society Living Legacy is an annual tribute to an individual who has made a lasting impact on the AMS community through their dedication and leadership. When you give in honor of the Living Legacy, you support a cherished AMS practice: the awarding of scholarships to aspiring Montessori educators at AMS-affiliated teacher education programs.
The American Montessori Society is honored to recognize Charles Terranova as the 2025 Living Legacy. For over fifty years, Charles has worked to drive meaningful and unprecedented change for Montessori professionals, schools, and teacher training programs, while protecting the integrity of Montessori pedagogy and practice.
