College of Modern Montessori | |
The College of Modern Montessori, an internationally accredited centre for the training of Montessori teachers, is based on five tranquil acres on the outskirts of Africa's richest and fastest growing city, Johannesburg. This training centre has international influence and is recognised as one of the best Montessori teacher training institutes in the world.
In the field of distance learning, we have a skilled team with great experience who can back up local tutors and lecturers world-wide and guarantee to give fast, efficient service to students, wherever they may be. We have facilities for locating manufacturers of Montessori apparatus, for supplying educational books and putting you in touch with Montessori Societies and Associations throughout the world.
The history of our organisation stems from our daughter, Olivia, having begun her education at a Montessori School in London, The Gatehouse Learning Centre, when she was 2 and a half years old. My wife and I were so impressed with the teaching and the results that I commissioned the Principal, Phyllis Wallbank, to design a correspondence course to teach the method to others, who may live far away. The first student enrolled at our offices in London in 1981 and since then more than 10,000 people from over 70 countries have enrolled.
In 1994, we developed a face-to-face lecture course which has been hugely successful, and for which we received Full Accreditation from the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE). In January 2000 we start our first full-time course. We presently conduct operations from London (England), Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban (South Africa), and from year 2000, shall be expanding into many more countries, including USA, Australia and New Zealand. We are delighted to say that numbers of our now-qualified students will be taking part in these expansions.
