Hear from graduates of the
Montessori Lower Elementary program

I really enjoyed NAMC’s Montessori Diploma Program. It has made me the best teacher that I am today.”

Isaack, NAMC 6-9 Grad, Tanzania

NAMC truly keeps the Montessori spirit alive with their own students; I was able to finish my diploma course at a faster pace since I had more time during the days to study. With this I graduated before the beginning of the school year which was my goal. I am very happy with the training materials, videos, and guidance that I received from my mentor. I just started as a Lead Teacher in a brand-new Montessori Elementary School in Aruba, after many years of traditional teaching. I already LOVE the transition!”

Susan, NAMC 6-9 Grad, Aruba

Participating in NAMC’s Montessori Diploma Program has been an immensely valuable experience and has allowed me to return to the values which initially inspired me to become a Montessori teacher. Great benefits of the program include the ability to work at my own pace as well as the priceless support of my tutor, who aided me throughout the entire process. I thank them for their professionalism, personal approach, and non-judgmental assistance. NAMC sets itself apart with its exquisitely prepared educational material, which greatly improves self-directed learning. I can wholeheartedly recommend NAMC to anybody interested in the Montessori method, regardless of where they are at in their teaching career. I recommend it to everyone that not only wants to teach, but to support children in their development.”
