Welcome to Montessori School of Rome Website

The Montessori School of Rome was founded in 1981 by Swarna Kumar. It was established to bring to the children of Rome and the surrounding community the opportunity to learn following the Montessori Method of education, a method first pioneered by Maria Montessori in 1907. Maria Montessori was Italy’s first female physician but, after her groundbreaking work in education, she became internationally known as an educator and child advocate. She based her educational method on careful observation of children and the environment under which they learned best. Her observations and philosophies, based on the principle of fitting a child’s learning environment to the child’s developmental stage, are as true today as they were almost 100 years ago, and years of research and practice have validated their importance.
