It is with great sadness and sorrow that we share with you that our Altadena School was lost today, January 8, 2025 in the Eaton Canyon Fire. The Church and School buildings are a total loss. Meher Montessori School started in 1972 at our Altadena location so it is with heavy hearts that we share this news. Hopefully we can offer some of our Altadena families some comfort by having them join us in our Monterey Park community. We do know that some of our families have lost their homes. Keep them and our staff in your thoughts and prayers.
A letter from AMI USA was received today addressed to the “Victims of the Wildfires in the State of California”.
