It was way back in 1908 that a few poor children living in the slums of Rome opened the eyes of Dr. Maria Montessori to the true nature of childhood. This led her to the service of children. She developed a unique philosophy of education and founded the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). Dr Montessori became the greatest educationist of the century.

In 1939 George and Rukmini Devi Arundale who were eminent theosophists, educationists and disciples of Dr. Annie Besant, invited Dr. Montessori to come to Adyar to conduct training courses for teachers. These were short intensive courses for only 3 months duration. Our founder Directress, Aunty Tehmina Wadia, attended the very first course and after working for a short spell in the new Era school she was inspired to start the Besant Montessori School.
