Kelly Jonelis, our Adolescent Community Director and highly specialized teacher, earned her AMI Montessori Adolescent Teaching Diploma over the past year and a half. After completing an intensive graduate-level program, Kelly received her diploma, which qualifies her to teach adolescents from 12 to 18 years of age. As a student in training, Kelly participated in a dynamic process of examining other schools and our own Adolescent Community’s program, class community relationships, teen developmental needs, and a profound level of adult self-reflection as preparation for working with young adults.  We are thrilled that Kelly Jonelis continues to implement strategies that strengthen our Adolescent Community to foster the development of capable and adaptable young people who achieve academic excellence through experiential learning and enter the world as confident young adults. Join us in celebrating Kelly with this amazing accomplishment and the positive impact she will continue to have on our Adolescent Community and their families.
