Assoziation Montessori Schweiz

The Association Montessori Switzerland was founded in 2012 as the umbrella association of the Assoziation Montessori Schweiz (the German speaking association) and the Association Montessori Suisse (the French and Italian speaking association).

The goal of these two member associations is to promote Montessori pedagogy and to be a support for its members.

The Association Montessori Schweiz owns the trademark on the name "Montessori" for the whole of Switzerland, with the Association Montessori Suisse holding a sublicense. Thus, any school explicitly wanting to use Montessori pedagogy must be licensed under these organisations.
