What is Montessori?
Alexander Graham Bell and his deaf wife Mabel Hubbard Bell invited Dr. Montessori to America to help them establish Montessori Education in America. The Bells started one of the first Montessori schools in the parlor of their home. Mabel was one of the teachers.
Alexander Graham Bell is known to have invented the first telephone, but he also was a teacher of the deaf. His father worked with deaf children and taught them to speak. This was unheard of in that day. Many of his scientific experiments were driven by his desire to see deaf children speak.
With all this information, our school was named after Alexander Graham Bell because of his desire to have a better education for all students in America and because of his desire to have better opportunities for deaf children. This was also the desire of the founders of our school.
