Those people who have ever been part of MSM team or have been working till now are the people with great creative potential, people who were not afraid of difficulties and faced new challenges. Some of our team members found themselves in artistic occupations, some opened their own school, and some found themselves in pedagogy after encountering our school.

Susan supported us in the early years, when it was so important for us to make sure that we were moving in the right direction. Her arrival in the spring of 2010 as an AMI consultant laid the tradition of sponsoring AMI trainings for our employees.
2011
Our acquaintance with Peter at the NAMTA course for Montessori school administrators in the summer of 2010 was the beginning of a real friendship. The annual seminars for administrators that Peter offered in Moscow from 2012 to 2015 gave strong support to many school principals and owners.
2012
Sergey laid the foundation for the summer camp project on Lake Garda, and for many years he has been an integral part of the school’s fundamental events, providing invaluable support. Unfortunately, Sergey is no longer with us, but we keep warm and thankful memories of him and of our times together.
2017
For 10 years since our inception in 2009, our school has been a practical laboratory for the development of AMI programs in Russia. Now that AMI is preparing to launch a certification program for the 12−15 age, we are starting to develop our own adolescent community.
