We are very much indebted to AMI and London Montessori Centre England, whose trained Directresses with several years experience worked with us to train Directresses/Teachers during the last 21-years.

We are still having many AMI trained Directresses as an Instructresses having not less than 40-years experience. Some of them are even having more than 50 years experience. These experts full of knowledge and wealth of experience merged into our system & methodology of imparting knowledge to grown-up ladies. This is perfectly in line with the mission of Dr. Maria Montessori. Hence LMI not only produced more than 50,000 Directresses but also produced many Instructresses, mostly working still with us.

Since our activities of spreading the teachings of Maria Montessori is continuously expanding and our program for the year 2010/2011 is to open Branches in Guranwala, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Peshawar, Sukkhar, Dubai, and Singapore, we take this opportunity to invite our old (leftees) Instructresses to rejoin us and serve the mission of Montessori in a better way. Very bright future assured. In addition to above, we are taking benefit from our 21-years of experience and from exhaustive studies regarding Montessori philosophy, already training our own graduates to become Instructresses for our immediate future need.

Till today we have trained more than 15 LMI graduates of outstanding education record.
