Montessori Hossegor seeks to bring an authentic A.M.I. (Association Montessori Internationale) school to the southwest region of France. We are a couple with over 20 years of international Montessori experience. Our unique encounters with children from differing cultural backgrounds have enabled us to more vividly understand natural human development. The school envisions that word Montessori will be dropped from Montessori education and will simply become education. It aspires to create a world in which people respect all people and all facets of the natural world. We seek a world where misunderstandings do not become misconceptions. We seek a world where the universal truth is love. Our school wishes to create a higher-minded human being. We seek a future adult who is aware of the many delicacies, intricacies, and interdependencies of the world. The school desires to foster human beings that inspire others to be better human beings that seek universal truth. The school desires to create individuals that can analyze and think in a variety of situations. We aspire to create adults that seek love and use it as the ultimate source for understanding. The school employs individuals that will follow the guidelines set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori. Our staff follows the Montessori pedagogy in the truest way possible referencing Dr. Montessori's works when necessary. The philosophy of respecting the child and cultivating yourself to become a better and more knowledgeable person shall remain at the forefront for the teachers of this institution. The teacher will continually seek to improve the quality of teaching methods. Parents should commit to the entirety of any program i.e. the primary or elementary programs to achieve what Montessori called the future child. The school maintains that the parents are the ultimate source for fostering responsible human behavior. The school is not a responsible party but a supportive party to psychological development in the child. The school maintains that the head leadership role will be filled by an AMI Montessori-trained adult. The leader of the school will follow the same vision set forth for the teaching staff. The head of the school will strive to have Montessori become part of the common vernacular. The head will help support parental development yet refrain from succumbing to the whims of parents. The head will continually seek to improve the quality of education at the school. Montessori Hossegor is a private educational institution that functions outside any governmental funding.
