What is The Montessori Campus?

Responding to a world-wide shortage of well qualified Montessori Teachers, well-respected Montessorians Kitty Bravo, Tim Seldin (author: How to raise an amazing child. President:The Montessori Foundation) and Jonathan Wolff, created The Centre for Guided Montessori Studies (CGMS) offering comprehensive Early Childhood Montessori Teacher training courses.

The Montessori Campus has been given exclusive rights to train prospective Montessori Students in Southern Africa in the internationally accredited CGMS course. CGMS courses are accredited under the emerging International Montessori Council (IMC) guidelines. These new IMC guidelines will mandate hours that exceed MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education) Standards.
