Students on the Diploma Course delve into Montessori theory that is fundamental to the role of the teacher and becomes a constant guide for the student’s understanding.

Montessori Primary (2½ to 6 years) is a mixed age environment specifically designed to help children develop at their own pace, choosing their own activities from the Montessori materials which are displayed in an ordered and accessible way. Children work individually, or in groups, with hands-on activities which are designed to help them develop physically, socially and intellectually. Students on the Diploma Course will learn how to present the material and activities to the children as well as how to nurture a love of learning in the children, foster confidence in their own abilities and create a sense of social responsibility towards others and the environment in which they live.

The Course also includes Observation and Teaching Practice in approved Montessori environments. For the observation component, students spend time observing how the children interact with the teacher, one and another and as well as their environment. During teaching practice, students present materials and lessons to children under the supervision of a trained and experienced teacher.
