Our History

Our journey began in 1983 with the founding of Beginner’s Montessori, a visionary institution registered with the Pakistan Montessori Association, offering education to children between 2 ½ to 6 ½ years of age. In 1989, we had the privilege of taking over the management of a prestigious Montessori owned by the esteemed educator Mrs. Gool K. Minwalla, which became known as the A.M.I. Montessori Centre. For twelve years, we nurtured young minds using the Montessori method before expanding the institution into a full-fledged O-Level program, one level at a time. This transformation led to the rebranding of the institution as The AMI School, accompanied by a new logo that better reflected our evolving ethos and educational approach. The first cohort of students sat for their O-Level examinations in the academic year 2006-2007.

In 2011, we took a bold step forward with the establishment of Education Works Pvt. Ltd., which soon became the driving force behind the school’s growth. That same year, we launched the AMI Daycare and Learning Centre (ADLC), a crucial extension of our commitment to early childhood development. Our passion for community engagement took a new form in 2018 with the introduction of the Senior Involvement Program (SIP), a pioneering initiative aimed at strengthening ties within the community.

In 2021, a pivotal moment arrived when Muzaffar Bukhari joined us as a partner, bringing fresh energy and vision to the organization. This year also marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our preschool, which was rebranded as Kiva School. Now recognized by the Sindh Education Department, Kiva serves as the preschool and elementary section of The AMI School.

Our most recent endeavor, launched in 2023, is Paar — a transformative life-readiness program designed for children with special educational needs. This program marks the culmination of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and providing every child with the opportunity to thrive.

From humble beginnings to a vision that spans across diverse educational landscapes, we remain dedicated to nurturing young minds, fostering community connections, and shaping the future of education.
