Live Virtual Montessori

Teacher Training Program

Available Wherever you Reside

Celebrating already 36 years of Montessori training since 1990 and having trained more than 3,000 certified Montessori Teacher Guides, the Canadian Montessori Teacher Education Institute (CMTEI) is pleased to announce a new Montessori Early Childhood training program designed for individuals with no prior teaching experience.



LIVE INTERACTIVE

MONTESSORI PROGRAM FROM HOME


This fully MACTE-accredited program gives you a true hybrid experience, blending the flexibility of learning from home with face-to-face real-time instruction with a Master teacher.


Three components to this interactive program:


1) 7 Hours of Live virtual Sessions every week:  Join from the comfort of your home as you take part in this dynamic training.


It is fully interactive, live learning with a passionate Master Teacher who guides you through every breakthrough, answers your questions, shares his/her experience and helps you to achieve your goal.


Your schedule, your choice


Choose the live virtual option that fits your weekly routine best:


Option A: Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (see the academic calendar)

Option B: Friday evening and Saturday morning (see the academic calendar)


2)  80 Hours of In-Person Residency:  With your classmates, complete five immersive and transformative weekends spread across the 10-month program, so you can master the numerous hands-on activities (see the academic calendar).

         

Local training hubs across Canada

 

You should not have to travel across the country for world-class training. Complete your 80-hour practical residency at one of our five convenient locations:

• Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga or Winnipeg


3)  Internship: Knowledge is not enough. You need experience. Your supervised Internship places you inside a local Montessori classroom with direct contact with small children during 200 hours (you design your own timetable according to your availability).


To make sure you receive high-quality, and personalized mentorship from our Master Teachers, we keep our cohorts intentionally small.
