Frequently Asked Questions

About the Admission Process

Here are the questions we hear most often about the admissions process.

  • What credential will I have when I finish the training?

    Upon completion of the program, you will have an Early Childhood (3-6) or Elementary I (6-9) or Elementary II (9-12) certification from both MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education) and from AMS (American Montessori Society).

  • I am very interested in receiving training but I need financial assistance. Will that be available?

    Not through MRC directly but the school you work in for your practicum experience  may be interested in helping with costs of the program. Often, this entails commiting to working at the school under agreed upon terms. It is up to the adult learner to talk with their praciticum school about financial support. 

  • Is the training in-person or virtual?

    MRC strongly believes that course instruction should be in-person. In-person courses will include lectures covering Montessori philosophy, curriculum and supervised practice with the Montessori materials. MRC firmly believes in the value of community and collaboration that develops when adult learners are learning and practicing together in-person. 

  • I am a parent and want to know more about Montessori education so I can better support my kids' education. Is the training available to me?

    Please reach out and we can recommend which course may be a good fit for your interests. We can also come to your school community to offer parent education workshops as well.
