Other AMI Certificate Courses

Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) approves a unique range of courses that cover many aspects of human activity throughout life. The unique archives and deep institutional knowledge that AMI holds in the context of Maria Montessori’s teaching, philosophy and education principles provides a valuable platform for new developments. AMI not only connects Montessori to the world but ensures that trainers and training are “grounded in experience from the past but fit for the future.”

Diploma Courses and Orientation Certificate Courses delivered by US-based Training Centers are shown on relevant pages of this website. On this page we have collected a range of other programs available in the US. In some cases the course details are not yet determined but the link will take you to a place where you can express an interest or sign up for further information. We intend to build on this information over time.

Most Centers provide the option for specific enquiries or joining mailing lists for updated information.

Details of other courses are available on the Association Montessori Internationale site.
