My name is Paola Bianchi and I am from Santiago de Chile. I have three sons who stayed in Chile, studying at university.

First, I studied to be a Special Education teacher. Almost at the end of my studies, I discovered Montessori, which totally changed not only my vision of education but my vision of life in general. This is how I became an AMI Montessori guide for elementary education. I worked for a few years at lower elementary and then dedicated myself to running my own school with my husband, in Santiago.  After a few years, I saw the need to learn more about working with adolescents, so I took my AMI orientation in Cleveland, Ohio. Then I perfected myself by taking a course for Montessori Administrators also taught by AMI.

This will be a year with new challenges for my career, accompanying your children in this incredible adventure that is learning. You can always count on my support and help.

I am very happy to be part of Heartwood Montessori, where I have been received with a lot of love and support. I'm sure it will be an amazing year for everyone.
