In every way, NAMC has met and exceeded my expectations--in its professionalism, its commitment to its students, and its approach to the materials.

My tutor was very professional, cooperative and positive in her feedback. Thanks to her too, for all her time, support, and confidence in me. It was a great experience.words can never describe the training and its benefits...a total success.

The additional resources, such as the blacklines and videos, were invaluable. So, worth the money. I was able to put the blacklines and instruction received from the videos to immediate use. The videos were particularly helpful when I got to the Math manual. Reading all the fine details of how to explain simple and complex mathematical concepts can be difficult to wade through, but, the videos were so engaging and helped you immediately "get it.".

I felt the Preschool/Kindergarten program and course material provided was very educational and informative. I have worked in a Montessori school for over a decade, and now, I finally feel that I have a better understanding of the methodology, and how to properly present the Montessori materials to a child. I am very pleased with the program and would recommend it to anyone interested in Montessori. I find NAMC’s manuals a great help and reference prior to doing a presentation.

I have truly enjoyed the pace and understanding of your program. The materials are well done, highly motivating, and I really appreciated the CD to have on hand for further use. I would highly recommend your program to anyone who wanted to become certified in Montessori.

Within one month of receiving my diploma, I was offered an assistant teaching position at a Montessori school, and now four months later, I have been promoted to Directress. I am very excited. NAMC definitely prepared me for success.

As for the feedback, it’s been truly wonderful. My tutor responded to every query or question I had within a day’s time and her help and guidance made a world of difference. Even though I am halfway around the world from NAMC, it really felt as if I was just around the corner! My tutor’s feedback was always very professional and helpful and if I had any uncertainties, they were clarified immediately. Needless to say, the support was amazing and I could have not hoped for a better teacher, thank you very much!

I was a bit scared to go back to studying after so many years of working, but NAMC made the whole experience an absolute joy and I am very grateful for this wonderful experience I had, Thank you very much!

I find myself enjoying learning about new topics and do like the fact that the NAMC manuals are updated with new scientific discoveries. It is important to learn and explore new discoveries. The teaching style learned with NAMC gave me the flexibility to do so. I truly enjoyed the course and recommend it without hesitation.

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for the US History album. I am eagerly awaiting the math albums and more. Our two upper elementary classes are thrilled with the albums we have thus far...thrilled! I've been teaching for 16 years and have made many attempts to come up with the same type of manual...let's just say mine never came out too well... Thank you for this brilliant work. I showed one of your albums to our AMI consultant who found it very interesting and gave a big nod of approval. Thanks again.

This program is fantastic! I have wanted to go back to school for some time, but could not find a program that was as flexible as NAMC. I work full-time, and nanny after school, so it is hard (and stressful) for me to be able to attend night and weekend classes. This program allows me to do the work at home and work at my own pace to complete assignments, which is so much more conducive to my schedule.

The information I am finding in the manuals is very helpful and easy to follow. I am excited to implement the new materials in my classroom. The ideas are thought provoking. I find that when I am done reading about an activity, my mind is racing to figure out what else I can do with that activity to make it different or add on to it.

The support I am getting from my tutor is wonderful; I just received a call from her the other day checking to make sure everything was alright. The feedback from my tutor on my assignments is helpful, and she makes me feel like she really cares about each student and the student’s success even after they have completed the program. Overall, this has been a really great experience, and I am looking forward to becoming a Montessori teacher!

While I was working on my assignments, I was so happy, and that is why I finished them quickly. I like the “don’t say” and “do say” table very much as it helped me to understand what to say and what not to say to my children. I am very happy with the Montessori way of letting the children depend on themselves and to self-correct themselves. I believe the information in this program will help a lot of parents to be better parents without leaving their work or life.

I feel that this program provided me with materials that are very practical and useful. I really like how many activities were provided in each subject area and how they were set up so clearly. I will definitely keep these materials for future reference. The assignment feedback was very quick and clear. Thanks for a wonderful program!

I did not realize how involved you (NAMC staff) would be when I started the program. It was a pleasant surprise to have you so involved and it helped build confidence in my answers and understanding of the Montessori method. I love the manuals! They will be such wonderful resources to have. I am also pleased to have the on-line membership available for one year. I appreciated the option to pay my fees in installments and having the materials always arrive on time. Thank you and I wish you continued success with your program.

The program opened my eyes to many different approaches a teacher can use to grasp a student’s enthusiasm for learning while teaching interdependence. Being in the traditional program of education, this course has been a great asset to me. Overall, this is one of the best experiences I have had in my life. I wish that all teachers going through general education training could receive some background information on the Montessori method. It is a method that is truly unique and can provide some wealth and knowledge for the children. This program provided me with an enriched experience that I will always carry with me throughout my teaching career.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the program. I have been a teacher in South America for over 20 years, but I’ve never had the opportunity to participate in such a comprehensive program. I especially like the Phonics and the Mathematics. Your material is excellent. You were always professional and supportive. I would have no hesitation in recommending your program to anyone. Thank you so very much!

I found the NAMC’s program to be a great asset in my desire to improve my professionalism and teaching skills. I’ve learned a lot from the program. Although I was familiar with the Montessori Method before beginning this program, as I learned more, I realized that many things that I heard were just stereotypes that people portrayed. I found the manuals to be easy reading, enjoyable, and very informative. I’ve read most of the manuals more than once and I enjoy reading them in my spare time, especially the math, language and science ones. I really hope to incorporate as much as I can in my Pre-K classroom next year.

I found the professionalism at NAMC to be outstanding. Anyone I spoke to with the phone prior to enrolling was polite, pleasant and very helpful. The assignment feedback that I received from my instructor encouraged me further and made me really want to incorporate as many aspects of the Montessori Method as I can in my classroom. I have bought many materials for use in my classroom, even though my school is not a Montessori school at all. I appreciated getting a call and it was nice to receive feedback on a personal level, not just a grade. I was also impressed with how fast I got a response—in under a week!

Although I am still viewing the online videos, they have been very helpful. This resource is one of the reasons that I can confidently say that even though this course is a correspondence course, you can still feel as if you are in the classroom being taught how to use all the materials.

Overall I really think I gained a lot from this program and I am proud to add it to my resume. I thank you for offering such a unique opportunity.

I have a preschool of my own and I refuse to use any other institution for my training. As well, I have pulled my two children out of a local Lower Elementary Montessori school, and have spent this year running through your 6 - 9 curriculum with them. They are now nicely caught up and ready to begin the 9 - 12 program. I thank you for this opportunity. You will never be able to fathom how much this has done for my children.

I received my Diploma today! I am so happy!

The course was excellent. I really appreciate how quickly you responded to my work; you never left me in the dark! When I would receive an e-mail from you, I would be so nervous hoping that I did well, and thankfully I did. It was so nice to know you were always there if I needed you! The girls at work gave me a beautiful gift and card for completing the program. I am very lucky to be working in such a lovely, small school.

Preschool/Kindergarten Program Sinead C., County Dublin, Ireland

I have worked in 3-6 for eleven years, and this is my third year in a 6-9 program. I understood the Montessori philosophy and some equipment, but not all, and was unclear how it all fit together; what comes first, next, etc., and parallel activities. Doing this program, I now can see a clear picture of where I want to take my class and how this all fits together. I have begun to make equipment using the blackline masters and it is fantastic. I have had a willing parent volunteer and she is working her way through the geography equipment (I had none of this in my classroom). The quality is very good and extensive. The manuals are well-presented, clear, and so attractive, how could you not want to work with them? Support has always been quick, helpful, and organized. The emails are always professional, to the point, and so helpful. I have nothing but praise for this training.

Before I embarked on this journey with NAMC, I researched other institutions, but I was so impressed with what you had to offer me which is why I decided to study through NAMC. I am currently employed as an assistant teacher in the 3-6 year old class in a Montessori school and the children in our class truly come from all over the world. This course is truly universal. I truly appreciate the network of people involved in my training to become a Montessori teacher.
