In January 2009, India had the honour of hosting the 26th International Montessori Congress at the Kalakshetra Foundation in Chennai, welcoming over six hundred participants from thirty-nine countries in a vibrant exchange of ideas and inspiration. Following this significant event, there was a shared belief that it should lead to something of lasting value for the country. This vision led to the establishment of the Indian Montessori Foundation (IMF), with a mission to help children reach their potential through the principles and practices of Montessori education, contributing to a more harmonious and peaceful world.
IMF promotes Montessori education and nurtures Montessori principles in schools, fostering environments that support the holistic development of children. It is committed to building harmonious communities grounded in respect and understanding. IMF actively supports AMI Montessori training and its alumni, ensuring a strong network of well-prepared educators.
