Program Overview
M.Ed. in Montessori Integrative Learning (36 Credits)
The three-semester, 100% online, 36-credit Master of Education in Montessori Integrative Learning has options for three distinct types of students:- Practitioners who wish to expand their existing knowledge and develop an area of emphasis.
- Lead teachers, heads of schools, and school board members, as well as other individuals who are interested in advancing Montessori ideas, but may not have a Montessori teaching credential.
- Teachers who wish to work with 6- to 12-year-olds. This last option is designed for students who cannot attend training in-person and who do not need official Montessori certification. If you are enrolled in a certificate program with one of our partners, you can receive credit for that training in the master’s program.
Note: The Montessori Integrative Learning program is not linked to Massachusetts teacher licensure.
