European Schools inspired by Maria Montessori and Rebeca Wild

There are over 150 schools across Europe using the school model Carmen Gamper is bringing to California and the US.

Rebeca and Mauricio Wild spearheaded this school model in their preschool through high school learning center in Ecuador. The Wilds shared their experiences in parent circles during their annual visits to Europe during the 1990s and 2000s. In fact, in Europe these schools are often called Wild-inspired, free or active schools.

Carmen Gamper is adapting this school model to the needs of the educators and families in the United States. She calls her personal development of the model the New Learning Culture Model.
