A Warm Welcome from Dr. Christopher Vicari

Over one hundred years ago, Maria Montessori gave birth to a novel pedagogical methodology that motivates students to become lifelong learners while challenging them to reach their highest potential through a child-centered, exploratory, holistic approach. At Baishan Montessori Teacher Education Institute (BMTEI), it is our firm belief that the child who is en route to self-actualization has the capacity to be a positive change agent for the world—one with the intellectual acumen to think critically about the challenges facing society and the compassion to create innovative solutions to improve the lives of the human family.
