Maria Montessori's Life

This section holds some of Maria Montessori’s personal memories and anecdotes, snippets from letters to her parents and her father’s recollections of her childhood and school years — all providing glimpses of her life as a young girl on her way to adolescence and adulthood. Lesser known stories of her adult life will also be included. In short, meet Maria Montessori as a person of flesh and blood. The AMI legacy team digs deep into the Maria Montessori archives in a bid to contextualise stories and events in Montessori's life.
