Ambleside Schools International is a nonprofit organization founded in 1999 to serve as a model school and training center for renewal in education. It developed the Ambleside Method, a living-education approach aligned with Mason's educational philosophy. Led by executive director Dean Peterson and founders Maryellen and Bill St. Cyr, ASI seeks to build and sustain a global network of schools and training centers that offer children a living education. The network comprises 24 member schools across the United States and several countries in Africa and beyond, including sites in Wisconsin, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Oregon, and South Africa, as well as India, Mozambique, and Nigeria. Based in Fredericksburg, Texas, the organization maintains a presence online at amblesideschools.org. In March 2026, ASI attended the Rocking Future Career Expo 2026, showcasing Ambleside School pupils as they explored career opportunities.
