Thacher News
Thacher Partners with AMS to Welcome the 2023 International Conference to Boston
Thacher was proud to host over 60 Montessori educators on campus last Thursday for the start of the 2023 AMS International Montessori Conference. Later that evening, Thacher LE and UE students gathered with students from other local Montessori schools to perform a song during the opening ceremony.
Over the next few days, Thacher staff were immersed in workshops and inspired by speakers such as Dr. Jamil Zaki, Dr. Susan David, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, and Chris Barton. We returned to campus eager to implement and share new ideas.

The weekend ended with an event at Artists for Humanity, where Thacher Board Members joined us for dinner. What a lovely way to end the week!
