Adrian Dominican Montessori Teacher Education Institute

ADMTEI has been educating Montessori teachers from around the U.S. and the world since 1971, and we have extensive experience with preparing Montessori educators for a wide variety of settings in public and private education. Our faculty has a wealth of Montessori experience and is committed to keeping up-to-date with the latest research. The majority of our faculty has advanced degrees in education. Each faculty member is passionate about the Montessori Method; each will present to you their specialty area of expertise, allow you time with materials, and be available for your questions. Our beautiful campus has a multitude of resources for you to explore (university library and student center, walking meditation paths, study areas, ample parking, etc.). Since we are located on the grounds of the Motherhouse for the Adrian Dominican Sisters, we appreciate and foster the spiritual dimensions of our adult learners on their journey of becoming Montessori teachers. We have several chapels and quiets areas for study and reflection. Our program offers access to a local Montessori school for learning and observation and we also provide our adult learners with academic counseling. Finally, our weekend schedule provides adult learners with a very effective and efficient timeline for acquiring their AMS Early Childhood credential. We serve our adult learners across the Midwest, visiting them at their practicum sites and providing educational support throughout their time in our program.
