IMS-Recommended Web Links


The International Montessori School (IMS) regards the following web sites to be definitive sources of information about Montessori education:

  • Association Montessori Internationale (AMI)
    Most of IMS' teachers are AMI trained, and we follow their guidelines in all of our classrooms.
  • Montessori Centre Internationale (MCI)
    A number of IMS' teachers are St. Nicholas or MCI trained.  The Montessori St. Nicholas Centre was founded in 1946 by two British ladies trained by Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy.  They established a training college and school, and translated all of the language materials into English.  Dr. Montessori  personally supervised and signed all the graduate diplomas until the year before her death in 1952. In 1998 the teacher college and nursery school combined with the London Montessori Centre under the name Montessori Centre International.
  • North American Montessori Teachers' Association (NAMTA)
    NAMTA is the network of Montessori schools and teachers in the U.S. that provides significant support for Montessori schools around the globe.
  • The Montessori Foundation
    Answers parents' most frequent questions about Montessori education in a clear, easy to read language.
  • The International Montessori Index
    www.montessori.edu has been created to provide practical information on Montessori philosophy and practice, information for parents and teachers who want to learn more about Montessori schools, and an intelligent index to Montessori resources and web sites.
  • The Montessori Schools Online Webring Directory
    Montessori Schools Online is a web ring, a linked circle of Montessori school homepages from around the world. Any Montessori school can join the ring, regardless of size, location, or affiliation.
