Asian Montessori Center Inc., commonly known by its initials AMC, is a private school in the Philippines that offers education from preschool to Grade school. The campus is located at St. Dominic Villa, San Agustin Village, San Fernando City.
History
Village Montessori Center was established in Corazon Village for two years where it stayed in a rented house for two years, housing 17 CASA pupils with 2 rooms, founded by Erlinda B. Mamangun. The original intention was to offer CASA classes only, but the persistent requests from parents inspired the administration to offer Grade School.
A new building was constructed on the school's present site at St. Dominic Villa. Village Montessori was changed to ASIAN MONTESSORI CENTER, and grade levels were added each year from Grades 1 to Grade 6.
The year 1986 was special for Asian Montessori; the first communion was especially memorable, as it had to be postponed twice because of the four-day EDSA revolution that ended a 20-year dictatorship. The graduation ceremonies also flowed abundantly with tearful and emotional ceremonies.
In 1992 came the sudden death of the school's founders, Mrs. Erlinda Mamangun and her husband, Mr. Bienvenido Mamangun.
Mrs. Lynette Ann Mamangun Claros, who was known as Ms. Lynette Claros at that time, the elder of the two sisters, took over as President of the School.
The year 1995–96 brought another disaster to Asian Montessori Center: the eruption of lahar from Mount Pinatubo. Many families had to relocate, and many lives were not spared. Fortunately, the enrollment number went up in the succeeding years.
Another Mamangun daughter, Ms. Lynn Amor Manalese, also joined the administration.
The school year 1998 enjoyed the highest number of graduates, at 71. This was surpassed 20 years later, with a record of 76. The most enrollments recorded was 556.
In 2001, air conditioning was added to each room, and a new building was constructed. A two-floor building now houses the CASA levels, and the other building houses the Grade School levels.
Curriculum
Asian Montessori utilizes the Montessori education method of Dr. Maria Montessori. The CASA levels offer oral and practical activities. Mathematics, Zoology, Biology, and Language Arts are taught in this level. The Grade School students are provided with the necessary tools for their High School life.
