Abstract/Notes: The Montessori Lyceum of Amsterdam (MLA) is the oldest Montessori secondary school in the world. Although Maria Montessori had obviously started thinking about adolescent education long before its establishment in 1930, no other organization, or association of parents, had taken concrete steps towards the realization of an adolescent environment along Montessori principles. This account offers some interesting historical insights in how the Dutch communicated with Dr Montessori on the establishment of such a school.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study is to synthesize Montessori’s writings on citizenship education to support the implementation of a Montessorian view. This synthesis demonstrates that Montessori was of the explicit conviction that a better world can be achieved through citizenship education, as it strives for a peaceful and harmonious society. We approach this topic through the Dutch context. Although schools in the Netherlands are required by law to promote active citizenship and social cohesion, this law does not stipulate which of the many different views on citizenship education schools must adhere to. Schools have the liberty to devise their own citizenship curricula if they can substantiate their views and choices. For Montessori schools, this requires insight into Montessori’s view on citizenship education. Although Montessori’s views are still largely appropriate in our time, an ongoing dialogue about citizenship education is required, as Montessori lived and worked in a specific geopolitical context. Based on our analysis, we have identified seven themes that characterize Montessori’s view on citizenship education: one common citizenship goal; preparation for independent thinking and action; image of the future citizen; adapted and critical citizens; humanity for harmony; knowledge as prerequisite, personality development as goal; and an ever-expanding worldview. The results of this study provide valuable insights for designing and teaching citizenship education through a Montessorian lens.

Abstract/Notes: Nursery school education blossomed in the twentieth century under the influence of the Fröbel and Montessori methods. The education provided in kindergartens has been strongly child‐centered and preparation for primary school did not really enter into the picture. A gulf opened up between nursery and primary schools which the 1985 Primary Education Act aimed to close, by combining the two types of school in a single primary school for 4‐12 year‐olds. The integration brought about a great deal of unrest. Pre‐school education was a new development which came on to the scene in the nineteen sixties. Recently the Ministries of Welfare and Education have adopted a joint policy conducting experiments with a curriculum for 3‐6 year‐olds. The problems presented by immigrant children is a central issue here. The starting point is an acceptance of cultural diversity, education of the individual within a common binding framework.
