We believe that being an accredited school is fundamental to remaining true to the Montessori philosophy. That is not something every school can say. Accreditation is a rigorous process that can take one to two years to complete. To quote The American Montessori Society,

"Accreditation begins with an intensive self-study, by the school, involving the school’s entire community—students, staff, faculty, administration, board members, and parents. During the process, every aspect of the school is examined and documented, including governance, curriculum, fiscal and personnel policies, facilities, health and safety practices, teacher preparation, and learner outcomes."

We are proud to be designated a Level 10 School by the American Montessori Society. This means that we have achieved the highest ranking—actual accreditation—within the Montessori community. Participation in the Pathway process sends a signal to the community that we are committed to best practices and ongoing improvement.

The benefits are many; an empowerment of the entire school community, continual improvement and an assurance to families that their school is of the highest quality and accountable to a larger body.

Every parent wants only the very best for their child, and choosing a school you can have confidence in is of the utmost importance. We invite you to use the link below to make an informed choice and see which schools in your community have committed themselves to accreditation, maintaining the highest standards of the Montessori philosophy.
