AMS Accreditation

Accreditation by the American Montessori Society is an affirmation that a school is implementing best practices in Montessori education, as well as in areas of health and safety, finance, and administration. It affirms that a school represents the gold standard of Montessori education.

• Not all schools that are members of AMS are accredited.
• The decision to undergo AMS accreditation is voluntary.
• Accredited schools are validated by independent teams of evaluators as meeting rigorous standards of excellence developed by AMS.
• The accreditation process typically takes 18 months to 2 years.

Accreditation through the American Montessori Society provides guidance, empowerment, and high ideals to help a school community interpret and implement rigorous standards of Montessori education.

It is a signal of a school’s commitment to high quality Montessori education, and the highest level of recognition a Montessori school can achieve.

Accreditation by the American Montessori Society is a rewarding, multi-year process that requires dedicated focus and input from the entire school community.  Casa Dei Bambini is undergoing the process of AMS accreditation and we are on Pathway 10.
