Our Three Organizations
As we often say:
We’re here to help!
The Montessori Foundation is a non-profit educational organization that nurtures, inspires, and supports the development of strong, successful Montessori schools around the world. We consult with and coach Montessori schools at every stage of development. We also serve as a trusted source of information and Montessori programs for families.

As an independent Montessori professional and accrediting organization, the International Montessori Council (IMC) serves the entire Montessori community. The IMC offers school mentorship, school accreditation, excellent teacher and leadership preparation programs, and a wide range of resources and programs for professional development.
