Supporting adults becoming true aid to life.

Supporting the Spiritual Preparation of the Adult

Spiritual preparation is not something we teach. It is something we make space for. It begins with attention, honesty, and a willingness to be transformed.

Paideia Nova offers Montessori training, conferences, workshops, coaching, consultations, and written materials. These are invitations: not just to gain knowledge, but to deepen presence, expand awareness, and align action with a deeper sense of purpose.

Starting the Journey

Montessori Training

Allan Nguyen, AMI 6-12 Montessori Trainer, offers diploma courses to prepare you to become a guide for elementary-aged children.
In partnership with training centers in different countries, he offers both onsite and blended options to support varied local realities and needs.

Cosmic Education is the name given to Maria Montessori’s vision for supporting the development of children from 6 to 12 years old. This is the age Allan specializes in.

In addition to learning and practicing the wide range of presentations that form part of Cosmic Education, you will explore Montessori’s early insights into human nature and development, while engaging in the spiritual journey that prepares you to work with children.

Allan also offers orientation courses and, partnering with other trainers, Montessori Core Principle Courses.

Further down this page, you’ll find links to the partner training centers.

Testimonials

What our students say

“Since beginning the course, I have started to see my son in a new light, and I have found a sense of hope and peace within myself. I want to sincerely thank you for offering insights that help us understand ourselves more deeply and support our children more thoughtfully. I promised my husband after completing the 0–3 diploma course that I would not begin another diploma—but now I am thinking about the 6–12 diploma.”

“Your teaching style, the way you spoke, and the way you made each concept understandable and meaningful really made an impact on me. This training was not only informative but also inspiring. The discussions we had—especially around Montessori principles—have given me a renewed sense of purpose and passion. I feel more motivated and confident moving forward, both in my classroom and in my personal growth as an educator.”
