The Pan American Montessori Society has offered Excellence in Montessori Teacher Education in seven countries for 40 years.
Early Childhood (2.5-6) Summer Intensive Montessori Teacher Education
Every summer PAMS offers a 7 week intensive Early Childhood (2.5-6) Teacher Education Program in Dr. Meadows’ Model Classroom at 3391 Town Point Drive, Kennesaw, GA 30144. The MACTE On-Site Review Committee identified Dr. Meadows’ classroom as the Best Equipped Montessori Classroom in America.
PAMS’ Early Childhood Programs are the only ones nationally accredited by the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) in the state of Georgia.
Tuition for the Intensive Summer Program and two semesters of Supervised Practice Teaching has been kept as low as possible to make it available to candidates who need it most: those dedicated persons currently serving in low income positions as assistants in Montessori classrooms.
