A USA Montessori Diploma* is Granted at Program Completion

_{*A USA Montessori Diploma should not be confused with a Montessori Elementary Teaching Credential offered by AMS or AMI--These programs are very costly, require lengthy physical attendance in a classroom, and demand a one-year full-time student teacher practicum at an accredited Montessori school for elementary-age children. While a traditional program may be the most thorough way to acquire Montessori training, financial and geographical constraints preclude many aspiring educators from realizing their dream of teaching}_{or homeschooling utilizing the Montessori educational model.}
