About Amici Trilingual Montessori
Give Your Child an Advantage for the Future. Give Them the Gift of Languages.
Our Mission
At Amici, we develop and teach our children the skills to have future opportunities that will propel them in their future dreams.
Amici Trilingual Montessori prepares your child for the future. We have combined the two most popular educational programs — language immersion and Montessori education. Children learn the three most spoken languages in the world through full immersion with native, Montessori-trained teachers. We provide a high-caliber, academic Montessori curriculum in three languages.
What Sets Us Apart
The pillars of an Amici education
Trilingual Immersion
100% immersion in Mandarin, Spanish, and English with native-speaking teachers in every classroom. The only trilingual Montessori in the East Valley.
Authentic Montessori
Child-led, hands-on education following the Montessori method — building independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Nurturing Community
Small class sizes, low teacher-to-child ratios, and a warm family atmosphere where every child feels safe, valued, and known.
Birth Through 2nd Grade
One of the only schools in Arizona serving infants from 3 years old to 6th grade — no disruptive school changes.
Academic Excellence
Our graduates enter kindergarten reading in three languages, doing math beyond grade level, and socially confident.
Global Citizens
Cultural studies, geography, art, and music from around the world — raising children who understand and respect diverse perspectives.

The Montessori Promise
“I opened these schools because I believe every child deserves the gift of the world’s languages. At Amici, we don’t just teach — we prepare your child for a global future through authentic Montessori immersion.”
“After serving as Head of Faculty in the UAE and teaching in schools across the world, I saw firsthand that full immersion is the most natural way children learn. That’s the foundation of everything we do at Amici.”
— Sean Michael Diana, Founder & Educator
