World Conference on New Education

The Association Montessori Internationale was founded during the World Conference on New Education in 1929.


From our archives we bring you a facsimile of a letter to Dr. Montessori concerning the programme of the World Conference on New Education, hosted by the New Education Fellowship in 1929, during which AMI was founded.

On that particular occasion the first international Montessori Congress took place and Dr. Montessori aware of the need for co-ordinating the spread of her ideas and to safeguard her original contribution on behalf of the child, created the Association Montessori Internationale.
