The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) strictly regulates the standards to be met by member schools and teachers through their consultation program. They offer and run teacher-training programs, and organize national and international workshops and conferences. A team of specially trained consultants visits each school at least every three years.

Our AMI accredited program hosts four Primary classrooms. Our Lower Elementary through 5th-grade program follows Montessori principles.
