Why Teach Montessori?
High Demand For Montessori Guides
Montessori programs have experienced rapid growth in both private and public education since the 1970’s and even today we see hundreds of Montessori schools open in the United States every year. This surge in growth has led to a shortage of qualified Montessori guides according to The National Center for Montessori in the Public Sector. The high demand for Montessori guides means that it will be easier for you to find and keep a job.
Opportunities for Growth
Between professional development, expanding roles and leadership opportunities, there are always ways to grow in a Montessori program. The Montessori community provides training courses and even special courses in administration. You can pursue a certification in more than one developmental level or become a Montessori teacher trainer yourself! The opportunities are endless.
Fulfilling Career
Teaching at a Montessori school is more than just a career; it is a uniquely rewarding and transformational experience. Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of public education, Montessori classrooms are entirely child-focused, allowing students to learn at their own pace and explore their interests. This personalized approach intrinsically motivates students to engage with their work and take ownership of their education. The result? Confident, self-motivated, and hardworking students who possess a deep love for learning. As a credentialed Montessori guide, you'll have the opportunity to help shape the minds of tomorrow's leaders and inspire a lifelong passion for education.
