Eagle Montessori Teaching Academy Opens Doors

On Aug. 10, Eagle Montessori Teaching Academy (EMTA) opened its doors and welcomed its first class of future Montessori educators. To celebrate its grand opening, the new teaching academy held a ribbon cutting ceremony that featured a performance by students from Montessori Academy Eagle, as well as remarks from members of Spring Education Group’s executive team.

The mission of EMTA is to prepare adults for the transformative process of becoming Montessori educators who are culturally sensitive, creative, responsive to the needs of children and families, and knowledgeable about the Montessori method and its implementation. EMTA is dedicated to training Montessori teachers with the fundamental principles upon which Maria Montessori centered her philosophy. Spring Education Group believes that when the same principles that Montessori applied to educate the child are used with adult learners, deeper comprehension and a joy of learning evolve.

EMTA’s Early Childhood course, which takes 18 months to complete, includes online classes, five-weeks of in-person learning at Montessori Academy in Eagle, Idaho, and a nine-month student teaching practicum under the supervision of a qualified supervising teacher. Upon successful completion of the program, adult learners will graduate and be awarded an Early Childhood or Associate Early Childhood teaching credential from the American Montessori Society.*

Once accredited, Eagle Montessori Teaching Academy will be authorized to offer the AMS credentials.
