School Accreditation Handbook
The “AMS School Accreditation Handbook” contains all the information you will need to apply for or renew American Montessori Society accreditation for your school. The handbook contains AMS standards for accredited schools, guidance on what to expect during the accreditation process, and the application to begin—including the forms necessary to verify teacher credentials.
Purchase the “AMS School Accreditation Handbook” using this order form.
Once your initial application to become a candidate for AMS accreditation is accepted, your school will receive a separate handbook to guide you in writing the required Self-Study. Reaccrediting schools receive both handbooks at once.
Note: The “AMS School Accreditation Handbook” is updated periodically. The date of publication is noted on the front cover. Before beginning the application, please contact Marcy Rice, AMS school accreditation coordinator, to make sure you have the most up-to-date version.
