Wisconsin-Minnesota Regional Gathering 2025

We are excited you’ve decided to join us!

These informal, low-cost gatherings of friends and colleagues are held as opportunities for Montessori Adolescent practitioners to share ideas, discuss, hear some insights into theory and practice, and enjoy time with other folks who are focused on the work of supporting adolescents through Montessori education.

This gathering will be in-person, hosted by AMI 12-18 Trainer Laurie Ewert-Krocker and the Lake Country School and Land School Staff. Anyone is welcome to join, but our goal is to gather Montessori adolescent practitioners and community members in the upper Mid-Western states.

The Lake Country Land School is located at N13183 30th St., Glenwood City, WI 54013
