We are one of a few recognized Montessori centers in the world that educates Montessorians on all levels — infant and toddler, early childhood, elementary, secondary, and administrators.
Inspired by Maria Montessori’s peace education and cosmic vision approach, we provide teacher education for the entire scope of Montessori training from birth to adulthood. If you are an educator seeking a new system to approach teaching, a student of life looking to start a new career, or a part of a school district adding the Montessori model into your classrooms, HMC will give you the education and experience you need to thrive in the classroom.
Completing our MACTE accredited and AMS-affiliated course will not only prepare you as a teacher or administrator but will also give you the tools necessary to succeed in any career path you embark upon.
