Staff & Faculty

Jean grew up knowing that she wanted to be a teacher. Jean became interested in the teachings of Maria Montessori after seeing the development of her daughters as they progressed through the three-year program. She was amazed at the confidence and independence they exuded as young children. Jean earned her AMI Primary Montessori Teaching Diploma and Early Childhood Education Certification in 2004 and her Independent School Teacher Certificate. Jean has over ten years of experience as a co-Guide.

Elena was born and raised in California but has lived in Vancouver for over a decade. She feels the most herself in the company of young children and has worked with them throughout her life. Her favorite way to spend a day is reading, eating delicious food, and making things with her hands. She loves spending time by the water and sitting with old trees. She is always looking for new ways to live sustainably and respectfully and dreams of one day having a large garden, chickens, and bees.

I am from Chile and I am studying in Vancouver as an international student. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities and dancing. My first career was as a physical education teacher, then a Montessori Guide and now I am focusing on Hotel Management. I have a great passion for children and enjoy my time watching them learn, explore and discover.

Agi is a native Vancouverite and a UBC graduate with a double major in French and Spanish. As a young adult, Agi spent 2 years in Europe (France and Spain) perfecting her foreign language skills. She is fluent in four languages including Hungarian. She believes that when you are raised bilingually, your ability to learn more languages comes naturally. She is also fascinated by how easily young children are able to absorb a second language.
