Each component is completed within a ten-week period, making the program an approximate total of seven consecutive months (this includes shipping and handling time).

As a NAMC student, you will be assigned a personal Montessori tutor who you will work with directly throughout your program. NAMC’s tutors are experienced, knowledgeable Montessori classroom teachers who have been teaching the Montessori method to adults for years. Working full-time for NAMC, your tutor is always there to guide you through your studies. And you can connect with her any time — by email, Skype, or phone. In addition to providing you with continual support and guidance during your program and offering you valuable feedback on your assignments, your NAMC tutor is a great resource when you have questions about Montessori theory and practice, our curriculum and resources, the use of didactic materials, classroom management, communicating with parents, purchasing materials and furniture, organizing an open house, recording observations, preparing student assessments, and much more.
