| A Brief Historical Background of Montessori Professional College
THE NAME MONTESSORI PROFESSIONAL COLLEGE . is derived from Maria Montessori of Italy
who was the first Doctorate Woman in Italy famous in developing educational materials
and methods based on her belief that children learn best by doing, not by positively
accepting other people's ideas and pre-existing knowledge. This was considered to be an
innovative concept. Also, this idea of learning used to promote active personal pursuit of
many different experiences: physical, social, emotional, and cognitive. With these materials,
Montessori devised an environment in which such learning could be created. And thus, she opened
her first school in 1907. Since then, Montessori schools spread throughout Europe, Canada,
United States of America, Australia and Asia, which includes the Philippines.
The President and its founder, Bro. Danilo Magsino Dy, founder of MONTESSORI PROFESSIONAL COLLEGE
has quite a number of accomplishments in life - as an educator and as a businessman. He envisions
to provide the youth with a better future.
His great love and concern is education, which leads him towards community assistance to the youth,
most especially to the least privileged members of the society. The founder reflected and inspired
by the idea of opening a school patterned after the Montessori Schools in the United States of America,
has established the Montessori Professional College International.
This aspiration to open a school became a reality in 1997 when MONTESSORI PROFESSIONAL COLLEGE,
Recto branch formerly Espana branch was opened and was given a government permit to operate during the School Year 1997-1998.
A year after, another branch was opened in Metro Manila and in different provinces.
