ABOUT MACTE
Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) is the international standard setting and accrediting body for Montessori teacher education all over the world in order to assure the public of the quality of a respective training program. Refer to their website for the complete list of accredited programs: https://www.macte.org/accredited-programs/#/
Certification programs accredited by MACTE have proven that their educators are competent and qualified to train adult learners. Accredited programs must also demonstrate their capacity to consistently monitor and improve the program's quality. A program that is accredited by MACTE is accountable for their quality and must thoroughly prepare graduates to become competent, caring and qualified Montessori professionals. The program provides evidence of this through a scholarly monograph and on-site verification to ensure that whatever was written in the scholarly monograph is consistent with what is being practiced in training.
Our 3-6 program has been accredited by MACTE since 2017 and we have submitted our application for the accreditation of our 0-3 program.
