Maria Montessori traveled the world and wrote extensively about her education approach, attracting many dedicated teachers and followers. The child-focused approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori has transformed schools around the globe.

The success of Montessori schools sparked interest around the world. Dignitaries traveled to Rome from countries far and wide to witness, the “miracle children” who exhibited concentration, attention, and spontaneous self-discipline.

The innovative Montessori Method began to attract the attention of prominent educators eager to learn it. Some were taught by Dr. Montessori herself. Her courses drew students from Italy, Chile, Australia, India, and the United States. It was then Montessori schools began to flourish on most continents.

From humble beginnings more than 100 years ago, Montessori education is now a proven research-based education method practiced worldwide. China is experiencing an unprecedented demand for Montessori education that nurtures each child's potential emotionally, socially, and cognitively.

Nebula School(formerly known as the Montessori School of Shanghai) works in partnership with the American Montessori Society to maintain Montessori education standards at the highest level children, teachers, and parents.

"When you observe a Montessori classroom you see children who are calm, deeply engaged in learning, respectful to friends, and enjoy being the caretakers of their environment. The child-sized furniture and materials allow them to work independently or in groups that bring them to new heights of thinking. It is magical to see children interact this way!"
