Montessori teaching focuses on encouraging self-development in children, in a respectful way, and on the implementation of practical aspects of the classroom, something which currently attracts many parents and professionals from all over the world.
Therefore, some of the reasons for taking this course are:
- To obtain the double qualification of a Master’s degree from the university and the AMI diploma.
- To take the only Montessori AMI course for 6 – 12 years recognized as a Master throughout Europe.
- To participate in the only Montessori AMI course for 6 – 12 years currently offered in Spain.
- To obtain the diploma of the Association Montessori International, currently considered to be the most prestigious and complete Montessori training at world level.
- To take the AMI 6 – 12 course at an international level, adapted to the Spanish Russian and English curriculums, with all the cultural richness that this implies.
- To enjoy priority in applications for places as observers or for teaching practice in the Montessori Palau school.
The Master’s course for AMI Montessori Guide 6 to 12 years is designed for the achievement of a thorough knowledge of the theory and practice of the Montessori principle in Elementary education, with the aim of helping children to develop and adapt to society. The course covers all areas of the curriculum, which in Montessori education are much more numerous than those found in traditional education. These areas encompass philosophy, psychology and the contents of the various areas of knowledge with their materials and activities for teaching-learning. The course’s methodology includes theoretical classes, practical classes with the materials, observations and teaching practice in Montessori schools.
The proposed course format includes the Foundation course for the 3 to 6-year-old level. All theory and practice topics related to the 3 to 6-year level will be covered in an integrated way throughout the course. We want to relate all these issues as we work on the issues of the 6 to 12-year-old level. To do this we have the collaboration of an AMI 3-6 trainer. It is not possible to validate these subjects as they are an integral part of the other subjects.
The calendar and schedule for this course is designed for teachers and other professionals who work and want to have the best Montessori training. This course format combines self-learning and flexible hours with live online and on site meetings.
On site meetings are essential in AMI courses to give quality and consistency to learning. These meetings help a lot to create community, encourage collaboration and ensure good supervision in practice with the materials. The course begins in two on site weeks where the theoretical and practical basis of Montessori and the learning dynamics of the course are established. In these two weeks we will also review the essential knowledge of the stage of 3 to 6 years and will begin the practices with the materials.
In total there will be three four-week face-to-face modules in August 2026 and 2027 and three weeks in 2028. The first two will be preceded by a week of synchronous online classes. The calendar between summers includes some synchronous class sessions, online live on Mondays from 7 to 10 pm. There will also be recorded lessons to work on asynchronously.
It should be noted that session scripts with basic information will be provided, but the student must make their own description of most of the content. It is recommended that students can practice with the materials that are presented in a place accessible to them between summer and summer. If students do not have a Montessori classroom or material, they can also try to practice with simulations of materials that can be shared. The prepared environment in Girona will also be available all year round for people who want to practice there with prior permission and coordination with the MIRTC staff.
During these months between the summers, you should also do the three weeks of observations in a Montessori school and then four weeks of practice in a school with an AMI Montessori guide.
A student handbook will be provided at the beginning of the course, detailing the course specifications and operation.
