Every summer, MINT welcomes individuals from diverse professions, communities, and backgrounds, all of whom come together with a shared goal - a vision for a better future.

  • “The gathering of like-minded individuals with a common goal is always something of a blessing . . . as long as it is peaceful and positive. This is a beautiful moment of beginning -- a moment with all potential. Thank you.”

  • "I am in awe of the depth of what was covered. My knowledge, passion and love of Montessori has been expanded. . . I commend the pioneers of the course for recognizing a need, sharing a collaborative vision, and for being courageous enough to take the risks to do what is necessary to meet the needs of the growing Montessori community that is desperate for knowledge. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to be part of history.”

  • “Feeling grateful to be a student in the first ever Montessori Principles Course! Only three days in and my mind and heart are overflowing. It's an honor to be learning from such incredible trainers, being part of the oral tradition of stories, insights and expansion of awareness passed down from Dr. Montessori to her earliest students, and now to us.”

  • “The way we structure motherhood in the US is isolating, exhausting, and terribly and unjustly unequal. In that sense, this work cannot be limited to highly trained Montessorians for children who are lucky enough to be in our schools. All of society has to work to rebuild the village so that the work of rightly ordered self-construction can occur.”
