Teacher Training Center

Are you considering becoming a Montessori teacher? The Montessori Academy Teacher Training Center, first accredited in 1991, is an Early Childhood certification program of The Montessori Academy Edison Lakes. We are accredited by Montessori Accrediting Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) and affiliated with the American Montessori Society (AMS). The teacher education program prepares adult learners for the Montessori Early Childhood Teaching Credential for ages 2 ½  through 6 years old.

The Montessori prepared environment is the setting for the academic component of this summer intensive, one-year program. The program consists of a six-week full-time (eight hours a day, five days a week) academic session conducted in the summer, three weekend workshops of additional curriculum (October, February and April), and a full school year of student teaching.

This program is offered annually and runs based on student enrollment. Applicants are encouraged to apply early.  The Application Deadline is May 1st.  All sessions meet at The Montessori Academy Edison Lakes Campus, 530 East Day Road, Mishawaka, Indiana.

If you would like to learn more about The Montessori Academy Teacher Training Center, please consult the 2018-2019 Teacher Training Center Handbook  or contact Julie Gabrielse, Program Director.
