In November 1970, Mark and Mother founded [[Montessori International]], a school for children one and a half to seven years old, in Colorado Springs.

This was our first bilingual program and we continue to stress the study of foreign languages for children of all ages. Enrollment swelled when our headquarters moved to Pasadena and Camelot in California, where more than two hundred students attended nursery school through high school. | In November 1970, Mark and Mother founded [[Montessori International]], a school for children one and a half to seven years old, in Colorado Springs.
