AMI Communications, 2011, 1-2 16 Secondary Montessori Education in the Netherlands The Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam 1930 …
Pages: 156-161
The Montessori Lyceum of Amsterdam (MLA) is the oldest Montessori secondary school in the world. Although Maria Montessori had obviously started thinking about adolescent education long before its establishment in 1930, no other organization, or association of parents, had taken con- crete steps towards the realization of an adolescent environment along Montessori principles. This account offers some interesting historical insights in how the Dutch communicated with Dr Montessori on the establishment of such a school. Newly edited version of the presentation Brouwer delivered to the Congress of the Montessori Europe in 2010.
