Magali was born and raised in the south of France and has been living in the United States for 17 years. After a few years spent working in a corporate setting, Magali completed her AMS Montessori Certification in New England and spent two years teaching in a Montessori school in the Boston area. She moved to North Carolina to join our school and is entering her fourth year with us. Though Magali did her Montessori training in English, she was drawn to our language immersion approachand loves teaching in her native language of French. Magali originallybecame interested in Montessori education because of its roots in theindividualization of each child and its approach on teaching Peace andconflict resolution to young children.
