Global Montessori International School
Feb 2008
Does anyone have experience with Global Montessori International
School in Berkeley? I would appreciate any comments from parents
of existing students and other parents who have toured the
school. I'm interested in foreign language exposure and
Montessori education, but would also like to know if the school
has creative art projects, a diverse student body, and teachers
who allow kids to be kids.
I have not yet had a direct experience with Global Montessori
International School, but the founder and director, Ernie Mahr, is
well known to me because he trained years ago as a young teacher at
our school, Applegarden Montessori School. Ernie is a superb teacher
who has earned the respect of everyone in the Montessori community.
His new school will be a laboratory school/training center for
Montessori teacher trainees from St. Mary's College. I understand
that it is a beautiful environment. As an American Montessori Society
training site, I can't imagine that the children would not be exposed
to art or allowed to be anything other than joyously engaged in
activities contributing to their development. I encourage you to
observe the school in action! Naome Dragstedt, Director, Applegarden
Montessori School
