Our training center
OUR MISSION is to prepare teachers who trust the fantastic potential inlaid in the soul of the very
young human being. Immersion, during their course,in Montessori kindergartens makes
them to witness the expression of such a potential.
Once convinced that a child is not an empty container to be filled with knowledge, they understand that a Montessori teacher cannot act as a common teacher but must be a SOUL DIRECTOR, able to captivate
the mind of the child because he has learnt how to nurse his soul.
Such an attitude suppose a revolution in the way we consider Education.
The student is invited to make it come.
This course is not just about theory
Placements are organized in affiliated schools of the region:
- 3 sessions for OBSERVATION
- 3 sessions for TEACHING PRACTICE
These assignments are part of course units.
They must have been done to qualify sitting for final examination.
The student prepares his own curriculum manuals
... which are corrected at school and become a resource guide for the rest of his career, protecting him from routine, reminding him the strict standards of the Montessori pedagogy.
The student manufactures the essential teaching materials
These materials were conceived by Maria Montessori, in order to integrate its multiple virtues andapply them efficiently.
He takes them with him when leaving the college ‘after tuitions fees are fully paid).
