Is Humberside Montessori School certified or accredited?
Parents looking for an authentic Montessori school need to ascertain the qualifications of the teachers and Montessori organization(s) with which the school is affiliated. The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) is a worldwide governing body established by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1929 to safeguard the integrity of her work, providing guidelines as well as sponsoring teacher training programs around the globe. AMI is the only organization to which Maria Montessori gave her name and she served as president until her death in 1952 in Holland. Humberside Montessori School holds a Certificate of Recognition from Association Montessori Internationale for children aged 3-12 and is visited by an AMI consultant every 3 years. The school is also registered with the Ministry of Education of Ontario as a private, independent Montessori school.
