Answers to Today’s School Challenges.
Today’s children, educators, and school leaders face a world that looks very different from years past (technological advancements, increasing stress and multicultural environment). In our courses, we bring the brilliance of Montessori education to life, ensuring that teachers can apply it effectively in today’s dynamic classrooms with today’s children.

Internationally Recognized.
Our blended programs are globally recognized for their excellence, holding the prestigious AMS affiliation (American Montessori Society) and MACTE accreditation (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education), ensuring the highest standards in Montessori education.

Complexity.
Teachers gain the comprehensive knowledge and confidence needed to guide children in a Montessori classroom. From philosophy and child development to specialized Montessori subjects, hands-on practicum, soft skills, and personal growth—each element is a vital piece of the puzzle that comes together seamlessly throughout the course and will start transforming the classroom from day one.

Designed for Schools and Their Needs.
We understand the challenge—balancing personal growth with a demanding school year isn’t easy. Our programs are built with your needs in mind, offering flexibility for teachers through online courses and summer break sessions that fit seamlessly into busy schedules.

Training Experience Rooted in Real Classrooms.
Our Montessori courses are taught by AMS professional teachers with many years of active teaching practice in Montessori settings around the world. The international dimension of our courses is a great added value, mainly for our Adult learners.Our instructors bring real-life scenarios into the training, making learning immediately applicable. Plus, thanks to our carefully designed schedule during the holidays our courses take place in real Montessori preschools and schools, not artificial training environments.

Investing in Quality Always Pays Off.
Connecting theory and practical teaching through discussions, group activities, online workshops, and digital tools in a prepared Montessori environment supports successful teacher development.
A human and fair approach is one of our core values. Read more about us and our approach.
