About Montessori Live
Who We AreMontessori Live is a MACTE-accredited, independent educator training program.
Our Mission
What We Stand For
In the summer of 2005, Montessori Live pioneered a relatively new model of distance education: video-based learning. Video streaming had been around for a while but streaming its content over the Internet only recently became affordable and widely supported by upgrades in high-speed Internet connectivity. Montessori Live is committed to developing programs based on best practices in distance learning and Montessori professional development. We began with two ideas in mind. The first was to assemble a streaming video-based online lesson library to support Montessori educators across the globe. The second was to record the legacy of Montessori history by filming leaders of the Montessori movement.
Montessori Live offers five highly regarded MACTE-accredited teacher education programs: Leadership Certification, Early Childhood, Elementary I, Elementary I-II, and Elementary II. The majority of our classes are online. Our Summer in-person residencies provide hands-on experience, daily immersion in Montessori practice, and philosophy as well as the human connection. Altogether, Montessori Live has developed a highly effective, adult-friendly training model to support educators and school leaders across the globe.
It is through the commitment of our faculty and participating educators that more children will benefit from an educational experience that transforms as well as informs. We are here to support these educators as they nurture and guide the next generation.
