NCME and AMS Now One Organization

In June 2006, after months of strategic planning, the National Center for Montessori Education integrated with the American Montessori Society to create a single, unified organization based at AMS headquarters in New York City.

In making the landmark decision – one which both organizations believe will benefit Montessori education for years to come – the long-term advantages for all members of the “NCME family” were paramount.

We anticipate that you will have many questions. The other pages on this website provide some answers. More information will be posted as it is available.

The AMS website can be found at www.amshq.org. The office is located at 281 Park Avenue South, New York, NY, 10010 and can be reached at 212-358-1250 or info@amshq.org.

COMING UP:

The AMS 2008 Fall Conference will include an outstanding selection of workshops for teachers of all age levels, heads of schools and other administrators, teacher educators, student teachers, and parents; networking opportunities; and a keynote address by Dr. Jane Nelsen on “Positive Discipline for Developing Capable Young People.”

There will also be an a Social Hour on Thursday evening -- a wonderful opportunity way to start the conference, for attendees who will be arriving in Garden Grove before Friday -- and on Saturday evening, a reception we’re calling “Let’s Party!”

We hope you will join us!
