AMS MEMBER SCHOOLS
To assist you in locating an AMS member school we offer this directory
of nearly 1,200 AMS-member schools worldwide. Choose a geographic
region from the map below and follow the links to explore the contact
information and offerings of the individual schools.
Please note that Montessori schools are independently owned and
operated. They may be non-profit or for-profit independent, public,
charter, or magnet schools. AMS is a membership organization providing
resources and services that support quality Montessori education
and teacher education. AMS member schools must agree to abide by
the AMS Code of Ethics. AMS is not a quality
control agency and, except in the case of accredited schools (see
below), which are monitored for compliance, may not interfere in
the educational and business practices of member schools.
Schools may be full, associate, satellite, initiate, or international
members of AMS. The membership level is determined according to
an evaluation of teacher credentials. To read about these levels,
click here. Membership levels are not equivalent to accreditation.
Only a small percentage of our schools have undergone the rigorous
accreditation process. For a list of accredited schools, click
