The MRC, formerly the Montessori Research Working Group, is an independent collective that generates, coordinates, and disseminates Montessori research in the fields of education and human development.

We are an independent group of researchers dedicated to advancing knowledge in Montessori education.

Core Tenets of the MRC include:

The Collective is not just about individual efforts; it’s about creating synergies that amplify the impact of scholarly research relevant to Montessori education.

Through our collective efforts, we aim to contribute to a more informed, evidence-based approach to Montessori education.

We are dedicated to remaining an independent group of researchers, relying on coordinated efforts and long-term commitments to grow scholarly research in Montessori education.

As the MRC enters its second year of operation, we anticipate ongoing adjustments to participation guidelines as we refine and establish our group norms. We encourage you to discuss the MRC and its evolving initiatives with a current MRC member.
