Friends of AMI NIPPON

In March 2012, Friends of AMI NIPPON (FAN) was established in Kanagawa, Japan as a General Incorporated Association and in April 2013, it became an official Affiliated Society of AMI. Their purpose is to maintain and promote the educational philosophy and practice developed by Dr. Maria Montessori throughout Japan. In order to reach these goals, their work includes recruiting more members of FAN and providing them with information through their bi-monthly newsletter. The Association also supports AMI Training courses and AMI Assistants courses, and FAN sends out lecturer(s) to PTA meetings, schools and local communities on request. Translation services are provided by FAN, as they translate most digital publications from AMI.
