Carrie Whalen

I’m also very fortunate to have Carrie Whalen as the Vice Principal at KMS. Ms Whalen received her Association of Montessori Internationale (AMI) certification while working with Renilde Montessori. Renilde Montessori is the granddaughter of the founder of the Montessori movement, Maria Montessori. AMI training is internationally recognized Montessori training at the highest level.

Ms. Whalen has been involved in the Montessori movement for many years. She began her work in Calgary helping establish a Montessori School within the Calgary public system. Within three years the students were setting academic achievement records on the provincial testing. Before joining KMS, Ms. Whalen also worked in Guelph and other local Montessori schools including Bishop Hamilton and Glebe.

In addition to this wealth of practical experience, Ms. Whalen has completed her Early Childhood Education certification and is currently completing a sociology degree through Memorial University. Ms. Whalen serves on the Board of the Montessori Society of Canada and has recently been asked to serve as an Accreditor for schools with the Canadian Association of Montessori Administrators.

Both of us encourage you to discover what a KMS education can offer your child.
