description The article addresses the issue of alternative education in the context of cultural codes. On the basis of ethnographic research conducted in primary Montessori schools in Poland the author analyses the significance of local culture for the global range pedagogy, and in this way questions the thesis according to which Montessori is indifferent to cultural differences.

At the same time Polish Montessori schools are undoubtedly these places in which the modernization code is overwhelmingly present.
