Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) is the international standard setting and accrediting body for Montessori educator preparation.

MACTE, founded in 1995, is dedicated to improving academic degree and certificate programs for Montessori professional educators who teach and lead in schools at the Infant and Toddler through Secondary II and Administrator levels and to assure the public of their quality.

Accreditation provides quality assurance for Montessori educator preparation programs. MACTE accreditation opens doors for educators who graduate from MACTE-accredited programs to the broadest possible job opportunities around the world. MACTE builds trust by collaborating with organizations and policymakers to ensure the quality of Montessori educator preparation is what adult learners deserve.

Montessori Australia is an Applicant for Accreditation with the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education.

We’re Moving to a New Platform!

Hello there,

We’re excited to share that we’re in the process of moving to a brand-new platform designed to offer you an even better experience.

That said, we still have a lot to move—thousands of articles, blogs, and other content—which is taking a bit longer than we’d hoped.

While we continue transitioning everything over, you’ll be redirected to the new platform for sections like Events, Jobs, the Directory, Shops, and Membership, which are already up and running.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
