Celine Jebsen
Founder, AMI Montessori Teacher

Celine Jebsen, a global citizen with a passion for education and international relations, has traversed continents, cultures, and cuisines in her remarkable journey of self-discovery and educational achievement.

Born in Norway, and raised in Japan, Canada and England, Celine's curiosity and thirst for knowledge were evident from an early age. Her innate wanderlust led her to explore diverse cultures and lifestyles, eventually shaping her into both a teacher and lifelong student. 

Education has always been a cornerstone of Celine's life. She embarked on her academic journey by pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations and Diplomacy, laying the foundation for her understanding of global politics and diplomacy. However, her intellectual pursuits did not end there. Fascinated by the art of culinary craftsmanship, Celine honed her skills in the culinary arts, beginning an advanced diploma from a prestigious culinary school. This culinary expertise not only satisfied her palate but also became a means of cultural expression and connection during her travels.

Driven by a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education, Celine delved into the realm of Montessori pedagogy. She obtained both the AMI Montessori Primary Graduate Diploma and the AMI Montessori Elementary Graduate Diploma, equipping herself with the tools to nurture young minds and foster a lifelong love for learning. Her dedication to Montessori education culminated in the attainment of a Master's degree in Montessori Education, solidifying her expertise in the field. She also founded Wondering Wild with a mission to bring Montessori education into the lives and homes of homeschooling families. 

What truly sets Celine apart is her insatiable curiosity and adventurous spirit, which have led her to live in twelve countries around the world. Her diverse experiences have not only broadened her worldview but have also enriched her understanding of humanity's interconnectedness. Through her work and travels, she continues to bridge divides, cultivate understanding, and inspire others to embark on their own journeys of discovery.

As Celine continues to tread new paths and explore uncharted territories, her story serves as inspiration to those who dare to dream, learn, and embrace the world with an open heart and mind. Those who dare to wonder.
