Indaba Institute

change the way children are taught to learn in a complex world. It does this through offering Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) training courses for the whole of society, starting with those working with children from as early as birth. Our Institute empowers individuals, especially women, to become community shaping exemplars in the face of gender-based violence, deep societal inequality, and a legacy of racial prejudice. We collaborate with our partners through a shared vision to bring quality education to all communities and transform society by utilising the marvelous potential of the child. Maria Montessori recognised that the study of the young is fundamental to the peace and progress of humanity, for “within the child, lies the fate of the future.”

Our teacher training leads you on a path of lifelong learning, enabling you as a Montessori Guide, to support children as they form their character in becoming mindful members of their community.

What is Montessori? A Montessori education offers children the opportunity to develop to their full potential as they grow into adults who are self-motivated and love learning, can think flexibly, and who are not only conscious of the needs of others but actively foster harmony as they go through life. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, the Montessori-method of education is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. What is AMI? Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) maintains the level of excellence that Dr. Maria Montessori envisaged in the application of Montessori pedagogy in practice. AMI's standards ensure that AMI recognised schools offer environments that allow children to develop their physical, intellectual, social and emotional potential and ensure that the approach is consistent with the content presented in AMI training courses worldwide.
