Decentralized Montessori Education for the Sovereign Generation - Mercedes Gil Hernández | Ep. 146

Season 1 Episode 146 Published 4 days, 19 hours ago

Description

Mercedes Gil Hernández is the founder and director of Montessori British School, a hybrid school offering on-site, virtual, and residential education. She spent years working in international banking before a growing concern about widespread financial illiteracy pushed her toward education. She discovered Maria Montessori's philosophy of independence and autonomy and built a school around it, starting as a traditional Montessori program in Spain before evolving into a fully personalized, flexible model where no two students share a timetable. In this conversation, we discuss about why she built her school from scratch rather than work within the existing system, how Montessori's principles of self-directed learning let her draw a direct line to Bitcoin's ethos of self-custody and independence, why she got the British accreditation after refusing to restrict families' freedom to travel, and why she believes the most overlooked investment is the next generation.
