    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:
    1. Practitioners who wish to expand their existing knowledge and develop an area of emphasis.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
