ABOUT THIS COURSE

Montessori 3-6

After establishing the foundations of their personality, children enter the Montessori Children’s House at around the age of three. This is an environment specifically designed for children between the ages of three and six, where they can further develop their skills.

COURSE FORMAT

We are now offering our AMI Montessori 3-6 Diploma Course in a blended format. This innovative approach combines online learning with in-person classes held on-site in Adliswil. This allows you to benefit from maximum flexibility while also enjoying direct, personal interaction in an inspiring learning environment.

The model is internationally recognized by AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) and has been successfully implemented worldwide for some time.

A modern and forward-looking program that ideally combines flexibility, personalized support, and hands-on learning.

The online modules enable learning that is independent of location and, to some extent, time. Digital learning materials are available at all times. Contemporary learning methods contribute to the exchange of experiences and collaborative learning.

At the same time, the in-person modules provide space for practical exercises, in-depth discussions, group work, and personal guidance.

Your benefits:
• Learn from the comfort of your own home
• Better work-life balance
• Less travel
• More flexible learning hours
• Long-lasting learning success through digital learning resources
• Hands-on instruction using Montessori materials
• Personal interaction
• Diverse learning methods including videos, lectures, and discussions
• Individualized learning at your own pace
• Continuous support and feedback even between in-person sessions
• Ideal balance between independence and community

Experience continuing education that is efficient, flexible, and perfectly tailored to the demands of modern life—with direct applicability to your daily teaching practice.
