Milena Passage joined Central Park Montessori in 2025, bringing a unique blend of curiosity, creativity, and care to the classroom. Born in Vietnam and adopted by a family who raised her on the Upper West Side, Milena grew up surrounded by diverse cultures and perspectives—a foundation that continues to shape her work today. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Studies and Anthropology, as well as a master’s degree in DEIJ Leadership, and has over 10 years of experience working with children worldwide. When she’s not at school, you might find Milena dancing, exchanging letters with her pen pals, or soaring through the treetops as a weekend zip-line guide in Upstate New York. She’s delighted to be part of the Central Park Montessori family.
