He has taught in AMI-accredited schools in Mexico, the United States, and Spain, bringing a multidisciplinary lens to the classroom.

A father of two teenagers and husband to a Casa de Niños guide, Francisco lives the Montessori philosophy at school and at home.



Mar Cubillo

Mar Cubillo is an AMI-certified Children’s House guide with a deep dedication to the holistic development of children. Her journey began in Querétaro, Mexico, where she earned her AMI Children’s House Assistant Certificate. She later expanded her expertise in the United States, obtaining her AMI Children’s House Diploma from the Southwest Institute Montessori in Phoenix. Her commitment to the Montessori philosophy is both professional and personal. As a mother whose two children have attended Montessori schools throughout their lives and as the wife of a guide for Elementary and Adolescent levels, Mar is passionate about creating learning environments that foster independence,


creativity, and a lifelong love for exploration, both in her classroom and in her own home.

Admissions Opportunities

The Barcelona Region brings IMS’s research-led Montessori and language-immersion approach to the greater Barcelona area, currently offering programs for children ages 8 months to 3 years. A CASA program (ages 3–6) is planned, expanding a continuous Montessori pathway from infancy through early childhood.


This region is led by Francisco and Mar, whose work reflects a strong foundation in AMI Montessori training and extensive international classroom experience. Together, they are building warm, thoughtfully prepared environments where young children explore, move, and develop language naturally through daily, meaningful engagement.
