CCMA – The Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators

Authentic Montessori Education

Parents who choose a CCMA-accredited school are joining those who want the best possible education for their children based on authentic Montessori philosophy.

Because the Montessori name is in the public domain, any school can call itself a Montessori school even if it offers education that differs from Montessori philosophy and methodology.

A CCMA School offers your child:
  • A carefully prepared child-centred environment
  • Mixed age groups
  • An opportunity to progress at his/her own pace
  • Activity-based learning
  • Freedom and responsibility
  • Co-operation, collaboration – not competition
A CCMA School offers you as a parent:
  • Ongoing feedback on your child's progress
  • An invitation to participate in many aspects of school life
  • An environment where parents and teachers support each other with the desire to help your child be successful
