The 21st September each year marks International Peace Day, led by the United Nations Organisation. Peace is a topic that is dear to Maria Montessori. In her time, she thrived to, raise international awareness of the importance of educating the child in order to create a culture of peace that is rooted in man from the first years of his life. Her writings on this subject are compiled in the book "Education and Peace". Every day, we endeavour to teach respect, kindness and empathy as your children will be the citizens of tomorrow.

Peace Day is celebrated in all Montessori centres around the world and as we sing peace day song, we "Light a candle for Peace", which is very special to our children: they all get to symbolically bring a candle to the table.
