  3. Portland, Oregon, a little city with big accolades, is a place as famous for its scenic beauty as it is for its vibrant cultural offerings.  There, in the shadow of majestic Mt. Hood, one of the nation’s most dynamic culinary, arts, and environmentally-focused societies lives in tandem alongside a thriving Montessori Community. But why Portland, Oregon…

  4. “Montessori: GuidedByNature” Through the Congress theme, “Montessori:  Guided By Nature,” the 2013 International Montessori Congress will allow us to look closer at how Montessori education is guided by children’s natural development and how that growth fosters a respectful relationship with the environment. The theme takes root in that dynamic relationship and celebrates that we are all uniquely tied to the physical and ecological makeup of our surroundings.

  5. Attendees to the Congress can anticipate world renown speakers, research presentations, engaging dialogues, school visits and history exhibits.  And since a true priority will be paid to the arts and entertainment, don’t be surprised to find yourself enjoying storytelling events, collective art projects, winery and brewery tours, nature hikes, and much much more.
