How do I earn my Montessori Certificate?
We offer two teacher training program levels: infant toddler (birth to three years) and Montessori early childhood (three years to six years). Each program includes an academic cycle in which core and foundational courses are provided by experienced instructors. Classes may be held during the week (summer intensive) or on weekends (year-long), depending on the program cycle a student chooses to enroll in.
Following the completion of at least 90% of the course load, adult learners move on to complete an internship for one academic year in an approved Montessori setting at the age-level they are training in. During this phase, students also work towards completing course assignments, observations, and exams.
Students who successfully fulfill all of the program requirements including practicum hours, coursework and observations are then recommended by MITE to our affiliate agency, the American Montessori Society which awards Montessori credentials to successful candidates.
Enrollment Policy
Enrollment begins 6 months prior to the academic phase . At this time we do not offer mid-phase admissions.
