Sam’s introduction to Montessori was through a 10-week Upper Primary placement in 2005 while studying for her education degree. After completing a Bachelor of Education-Primary with a major in Maths in 2007, she took a position in middle primary teaching her passion of Physical Education. In 2010 she completed her AMI 6-12 Diploma in 5 week blocks so she was able to continue to work at Beehive throughout this period. In June 2011, she began teaching in La Casa della Pace before having maternity leave in 2014. Married with 2 sons, Kobie and Blaine who have both been educated at Beehive, Sam is now back teaching Upper Primary in La Casa del Mare.
