Montessori Aguascalientes

Today we remember the day that Maria Montessori died: 6 May 1952. The seeds she had sown have grown into a vibrant legacy, so touchingly worded by her son Mario only a few weeks after her death.

“The great consolation to me has been the (…) unanimous feeling of responsibility all her pupils have expressed in the wish to further her work. …. For now, all the scattered energies of those who followed her are united in the determination to develop and spread the science she created. To fight for the soul of the child has been Maria Montessori’s lifework, and that is what she left us. She left us a glorious vision and the means to realise it.”

Now more than seventy years on –, we can clearly see the fruits of that vision, an ever-expanding movement of a dedicated community across the globe.

The picture chosen for this post comes from AMI’s archives and was one of the last ones taken of Maria Montessori.
