[edit] History
The American Montessori Society was founded and supported in 1960 at Whitby School in Greenwich, Connecticut, under the direction of Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch, appointed representative of the Association Montessori Internationale.
Dr. Rambusch had gone through Montessori training in London, conducted classes from her apartment, and founded Whitby. Her work in the school attracted the attention of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and led to the founding of the AMS. [1]
