Support Montessori public education in Puerto Rico

Montessori public schools in Puerto Rico look forward to the arrival of a new semester. A new semester in which we are closer to normality and to having children and young people in their learning environments. 

A school community that celebrates in a big way and sees this beginning with hope is the Alejandro Tapia y Rivera Montessori School in Lajas, as the school reopened after 3 months closed. 

Another cause for celebration is that the Juana Colón Montessori High School in Comerío has its Family House. There are already 13 schools that receive services of: psychological therapies, alternative therapies such as yoga, music therapy and art therapy. Also recreational activities, support groups and workshops, all free of charge. 

The Public Montessori project in Puerto Rico seeks to continue growing, and we have seen interest in the people to join the project. In the months of November and December, the Instituto Nueva Escuela oriented 148 teachers interested in being a Montessori guide. 

There are reasons to celebrate, so we invite you to do so. Your donations make it possible for Puerto Rico to have Montessori public schools, an accessible education of excellence. Thank you for being part of this growth!

Little by little, kids and youth in Puerto Rico have been gaining back some normality.

Even though the path to going back to school full-time is still long for some, our Montessori communities are making the most to guarantee an excellent education for their students. But after an atypical year, having our young ones in the environment is definitely a cause for celebration.

As a project, Montessori communities are growing, too. In a rural neighborhood in Ciales, people got together to rise up a new Montessori school for their children. This school is like no other for it was born as the first ecological school in the mountains of Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, in Lajas, the community dreams to finally run with peace their Montessori School of Marine Sciences and Agriculture. The school that has been organizing and working with students in open spaces for more than a year has the strong support of parents, neighbors, and renowned organizations to make it thrive. However, some challenges still need to be addressed in order for it to work with normality.

Because of their nature-focused projects, our friends from Para La Naturaleza are closely supporting both of these schools.

From Instituto Nueva Escuela, we keep supporting our communities in every way we can and celebrate all the Montessori guides and assistants that continue or have completed their certification over the summer.

All of our success is yours, too, because none of the work we do could be possible without your donations. The Montessori project is a game-changer for the island's public education and we are hopeful for it to keep succeeding.

We thank you for being a part of this movement!
