In 1999, Ambleside Schools International, a 501(c)3 corporation, was founded as a model school and training center to support renewal in education. Its staff developed the Ambleside Method of education, based on Mason’s educational approach. Maryellen St. Cyr, school principal and expert in Mason’s educational thought and practice, spearheaded the Fredericksburg, Texas-based ASI movement. Under the leadership of executive director Bill St. Cyr and founder and director of curriculum Maryellen St. Cyr, ASI—now entering its second decade—remains committed to educational renewal, and to building and supporting a worldwide community of schools and training centers that provide children a living education. Currently ASI has 10 member schools: -- Ambleside School of Fredericksburg, TX http://www.amblesidefredericksburg.com -- Ambleside School of Herndon, VA http://www.ambleside.org -- Ambleside School of San Angelo, TX http://www.amblesidesanangelo.com -- Ambleside School of Hout Bay South Africa http://www.amblesideschool.co.za -- Ambleside School of Ocala, FL http://www.amblesideocala.com -- River Tree School in Minneapolis, MN http://www.rivertreeschool.org -- Ambleside School of Colorado http://www.amblesidecolorado.org -- Ambleside School of Zurich Switzerland http://www.amblesideschweiz.ch -- The Vine School in Cape Town, South Africa http://www.thevineschool.org.za visit us at www.amblesideschools.com
