1907-2007: The 100th Anniversary of the

Montessori Movement

In 2007, the World Montessori Community Celebrated the 100th Anniversary of a Revolution in Education

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over 100 years ago, Dr. Maria Montessori began to explore the true nature of childhood through extensive scientific observation. We proudly recognize a century of great work, inspired by these discoveries:

• The purpose of education is to nurture the energies of childhood – intellectual, physical, emotional, moral and spiritual – so that every member of the human race can make a constructive contribution to the world.

• All children deserve the best possible conditions at every stage of their development.

• All children, in the best educational conditions, develop creative and flexible minds easily adapted to the complexities of human society.

• All children, in the best educational conditions, demonstrate innate discipline, joyful and focused work and empathy with others. They are tireless and selfless in their work.

• All children possess inner directives to guide their own development.

• All children, fully developed, become individuals committed to human solidarity, social progress and peace.

 

The Montessori movement declares its commitment now and in the future:

→ to participate in a universal social movement that places children at the center of society, recognizing them as citizens of the world;

→ to promote knowledge and understanding of the conditions necessary for the full development of the human being from conception to maturity, both at home and in society;

→ to create a climate of opinion and opportunities for the full development of the potential of all young people so that humanity may work in harmony for a higher and more peaceful civilization;

→ to reform education as a reciprocal, lifelong process in which every member of the human race is profoundly engaged.
