Each year, we offer a one-day regional symposium featuring three spotlight speakers and an array of breakout sessions addressing educational issues across all age levels. These events are held at schools or teacher education programs in different cities throughout the United States. Locations and dates may vary each year. Please visit our Events page for an overview of all our events and for event updates.
In mid-January of each year, we host a three-day Labposium for school leaders and aspiring leaders. The AMS Labposium (laboratory + symposium = Labposium) is an innovative and interactive event designed to foster collaboration, professional growth, and the exchange of ideas within the Montessori educational leadership community. Rooted in the principles of Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy, this unique gathering aims to bring together educators, administrators, and researchers to explore best practices, cutting-edge research, and the latest advancements in Montessori education. Visit our Labposium page for more information.
In March, we annually offer The Montessori Event (TME), a three-and-a-half-day extensive program featuring keynotes, breakout sessions, spotlight speakers, networking opportunities, exhibitors, and fun! This event travels to a different city each year and is also offered virtually. Visit our event page for The Montessori Event, or www.themontessorievent.org for more information.
