Global Montessori Network

The Global Montessori Network (GMN) is an international, multicultural, multilingual group of Montessorians dedicated to the development and education of children.

GMN was established in March, 2020 in the midst of the looming COVID-19 global pandemic. Co-founded by Joanne Shango and Magdalena Ponurska, they recognized the need for Montessorians to adapt in these challenging and changing times in order to continue to provide quality Montessori education to children. The first step in bringing this vision to fruition was the creation of a Facebook Group. This was shortly followed by the launch of a website.

The need for quality childhood education is a constant. Now more than ever Montessori education is necessary in order to unite the global community. GMN strives to promote Montessori methods and provide resources to further the acceptance and implementation of Montessori education throughout the world.
