Montessori Project in Turkey

“If I say apple, come, if I say pear, do not.”

 Since our childhood, we've heard the slogan “children are our future”. Now, the future of OUR children is in our hands and whatever we choose for them will make them leaders or slaves. After a few years of research we agreed that Maria Montessori’s method has got all we are looking for, as it is based on the principal of treating the child as a human being. What more do we need?

We are a settlers in the Kaz Mountains region, united from different walks of life, sharing the same truth: we are on the road named “know yourself”. We live in a beautiful place of olive groves, forests and the sea, who are our aids in turning back to our true nature.

We are a small community of ecologically minded people dreaming about an alternative education for children. We consider alternative education for our children an important part any alternative living community, so we envision that the school will be set in nature, far from big cities.

The school we envisage will be a combination of values considerate of nature and humans providing an organic, natural environment for the children, natural development combined with Montessori ideology. We see that an organic vegetable garden, fruit trees and the olive groves will be a integral part of such a project.

We are hoping to make contact with people who can help us with this project.  We are looking for a person who can help us with the establishment of the school and training of assistant teachers will be a person with a big heart, knowledge and devotion to Montessori.
We are waiting to meet you…

APPLE!
