No! Montessorians from every school community are welcome to attend.

AMI Refresher Courses are album-specific sessions led by AMI trainers that were originally designed for AMI diploma holders, however non-diploma holders may attend all sessions. They are designed to deepen understanding of Montessori album content. 

All workshops are intentionally interactive and collaborative. They are designed to actively involve participants through discussion, group work, reflection, and applied learning. Workshops focus on sharing practice, problem-solving, and practical strategies.

The conference is structured so that Friday will offer the opportunity to attend two 2.5 hour workshops. On Saturday and Sunday, sessions run across both days, and the content builds sequentially from the first day into the second. Participants choose one track and remain in that track on both Saturday and Sunday.

On Friday, participants can choose a different session for the morning and afternoon. 

On Saturday and Sunday, participants must remain in the same session as content builds from one day to the next, and sessions are not designed as stand-alone experiences.

Yes, on Friday you may choose two different workshop sessions. 

No, on Saturday and Sunday, switching sessions or tracks is not permitted. To maintain continuity of learning and ensure fairness across sessions, participants must stay in the same track for both days.
