We are thrilled to honor the second 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), and the art of Montessori coaching.
These graduates have developed skills and resources to serve as inspiring curriculum coaches and coordinators—supporting colleagues, strengthening classroom practice, and ensuring alignment with the heart of 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.
Interested in joining our next cohort? The program begins on November 3, 2025. Learn more and apply before October 12th here!
