The Montessori Event 2023 will be held March 16 – 19 at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center and Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, MA. “While there will still be a lively and interactive online version of the conference, I am so excited to welcome the Montessori community to my home city,” said AMS executive director, Munir Shivji.
Frequently touted as one of the most walkable cities in the nation, Boston’s rich cultural heritage unfolds with every step. Whether on the cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill, in the bustling shopping experience that is Quincy Market, or at a packed Fenway Park cheering for the Red Sox, “Beantown” has something for everyone.
“The people of Boston are open and friendly and willing to help with directions, suggestions, and ideas. If you’re in need of [anything] we suggest you look no further than the people of Boston,” said Jill Segerman, AMS lead online learning instructional designer.
Boston is shaped by the sea, with a natural harbor that holds the U.S.S. Constitution, the oldest commissioned naval vessel in the world. Back on land, visit the beautiful Boston Commons, the oldest city park in the United States and starting point of the 2½-mile-long “Freedom Trail,” a self-guided walking tour of 16 historic sites.
Experience the city’s commitment to education with over 50 colleges and universities in the Greater Boston area or explore the Museum of Fine Arts, which boasts the largest displays of Monet paintings outside of France. Finally, from fresh seafood to Little Italy to those classic Irish pubs, Boston’s food scene does not disappoint.
The staff of the American Montessori Society traveled to Boston in June 2022 for a working retreat and spent one afternoon exploring all that this Northeast city has to offer.
