Orientation Courses* are generally offered online and provide an accessible and relatively short program of study for individuals who want to learn more about Montessori pedagogy. They have also become an excellent stepping stone allowing those providing support in a classroom to gain additional insights and consider whether they want to proceed to a full Diploma course.
Orientation Courses are offered by all Association Montessori Internationale Training Centers in the US. The list below provides information on courses planned with start dates where known and with a link to the appropriate page on the Training Center website for more information. Most Centers provide the option for specific enquiries or joining mailing lists for updated information. The list shows course start dates where known and only covers courses offered by training centers based in the US. Details of other courses are available on the Association Montessori Internationale site.
Information updated on 4 November, 2024 and will be updated as further courses become available.
*Orientation Course with Assistants Course Adjunct: This offering is usually designed for both elements to be delivered together but it is usually possible to complete the Assistants Course Adjunct as a stand-alone course if you have completed the Montessori Orientation at the same level within 3 years.
