About American Montessori Public School
AMPS was established in 1995 as one of Gurgaon’s pioneer educational institutions imbibing the Montessori philosophy and method by Mrs Lalita Trehan, renowned educator trained in the Montessori method from the United States. It has since grown to be a full-fledged CBSE affiliated Senior Secondary School imparting quality education to over 1000 students. In the Montessori wing, growing minds between the ages of 2½ years to 6 years of age develop freely within a prepared and stimulating environment under the able guidance of Montessori trained teachers. Fully-equipped Montessori classrooms in the early years prepare the child for life, giving her/him a solid foundation for academic excellence. At the Senior Level, all three streams, namely Science (medical & non-medical), Commerce and Humanities are available to enable students to choose from a wide spectrum of pre-professional electives.
