Educational Philosophy
The Monterey Institute is one of a few higher educational institutions in the US to have an international focus from its conception. Over the years, the Institute has developed its own pedagogical approach to international professional education which it calls the "Monterey Way". This learning model, which mixes rigorous interdisciplinary analysis with second language mastery and immersive learning experiences, ensures that students are developing culturally competent solutions to global issues. The "Monterey Way" is not a detached educational philosophy, but a mission-driven approach that hopes to make a difference in the world - hence the motto "Be the Solution".

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or philosophy:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“There is, I confess, a hazard to the philosophical analysis of humor. If one rereads the passages that have been analyzed, one may no longer be able to laugh at them. This is an occupational hazard: Philosophy is taking the laughter out of humor.”
—A.P. Martinich (b. 1946)
