Voices of Rebellion

The Peace Rebellion is powered by the lived experiences of educators, families, and communities who believe in Montessori as a force for justice. Voices of Rebellion is where we amplify those stories—uncensored, unapologetic, and deeply human. Here, you’ll hear firsthand how courage, resistance, and hope take root in classrooms, neighborhoods, and hearts. These are the voices shaping the peace our children deserve.

Janyah's Story

Janyah came to Montessori at the age of 6 joining the single Montessori Lower Elementary classroom in public school that was otherwise a traditional model. It just happened to have a Montessori track for ages 3-12. She stuck with it through the 6th grade. Learn about her experience, her passion for Montessori, and her story by clicking on the photos below.

Voices of Rebellion
“I’ve spent my life in Montessori classrooms, not just teaching but building spaces where children — especially those too often left out — can thrive. The Peace Rebellion is about protecting that possibility. We’re here to dismantle systems that hold children back and to reimagine education as a tool for justice, equity, and peace.”

Hannah Richardson, founder
