Muriel Dwyer

 

After experience in State Schools, whilst doing further studies, Muriel Dwyer discovered she herself had been to a Montessori school. Later she trained with Mario Montessori himself. She then worked closely with him and between them they established the Maria Montessori Training Organisation (MMTO) in London, with Miss Dwyer as Director of Training, a position she held for many years.

A call from Africa led to the eventual beginning of the Help the Children Projects there.

Muriel Dwyer has served on the board of the Association Montessori Internationale, its Pedagogical Committee, and the MM 75 Fund.

She remains closely associated with Africa and with the MMTO, where she is Chairman of the Board of Directors.
