Who We AreSEAFOM is a membership organization founded in 1994. For more than 25 years we have financially supported dozens of teachers, at every level of the Montessori continuum, to obtain Montessori teaching diplomas through the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), which is known for its high standards, in-depth and hands-on training.
We provide scholarships to families of modest means to remain in private Montessori programs during their kindergarten year to ensure the completion of the three-year cycle in the program, but most importantly to support the culmination of the child's Montessori experience at this stage of development. We support Montessori programs in every possible way to ensure their success. Read More about our History. Contact Us |
