In the wake of a rapidly evolving digital world, Seels Teachers Academy proudly presents the Digital Montessori Education Diploma Program, a pioneering initiative that harmoniously supplements the revered Montessori method with modern digital technology. This program represents an evolution of a 12-year journey dedicated to the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, a journey that has seen the nurturing of over a thousand successful graduates, predominantly in the teaching profession. Highlighting our achievements, in 2017, we established the Seels-Vietnam Montessori Bilingual School in Haiphong City, and in 2023, we inaugurated the Seels DX International School in Mobara City, Chiba Prefecture.
Rooted in our decade-long endeavor to promote Montessori's life and teachings, especially among migrant women in Japan, this program garnered recognition at the 2023 International Association of Montessori Internationale 29th International Montessori Congress in Bangkok, Thailand. Our approach is not about altering the essence of Montessori education but enhancing it by integrating digital tools and AI competencies. This initiative is crafted with the foresight that Montessori-educated children can grow to become programmers, data scientists, and machine learning experts, right from the Montessori preschool classroom.
Our objective is to demonstrate how the strengths of the Montessori method, coupled with an understanding and application of digital technologies, can prepare children more holistically for the future. We aim to empower Montessori educators with the skills and insights necessary to bring a more inclusive and enriched Montessori education to all children, marrying time-honored pedagogical practices with the demands and opportunities of the digital age.
Join us as we embark on this groundbreaking journey, bridging the gap between traditional Montessori methods and the digital frontier, to foster a learning environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential in an interconnected world.
