AMI Elementary Teacher Training

Starting June 2026

Elementary (6-12 years) Diploma Course

3 Summer Course: 2026, 2027, 2028

This in-person program, offered in partnership with the Montessori Training Center Northeast (MTCNE), unfolds over three summers on the Montessori in Redlands campus, providing a deeply immersive Montessori learning experience. Each summer, adult learners gather in a prepared environment designed to support hands-on exploration, collaborative inquiry, and rich dialogue grounded in Montessori philosophy and practice.

Time between summers is intentionally structured for independent study, observation, practice teaching, and reflection, allowing participants to absorb and apply their learning in thoughtful, developmentally appropriate ways.

The three-summer format supports deep connection to the Montessori approach, to oneself as an adult learner, and to a vibrant community of practice.

Program Highlights

  • Foundation (3-6) delivered in-person at the beginning of Summer 2026, before the beginning of elementary-level content.
  • Bachelor's and Master's degree options are available through the University of Hartford partnership.
  • Summer dorm-style housing through the University of Redlands will be available. (More information to come soon!)
  • Montessori in Redlands is located in the historic city of Redlands, California, just one hour from Los Angeles, two hours from San Diego, and 45 minutes from Palm Springs. Nestled at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, the school sits within reach of Southern California’s diverse landscapes: mountains, deserts, beaches, and forests are all a short drive away. The 12-acre campus is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, providing a peaceful and natural setting for children to learn, explore, and grow.
