Montessori Microschool Mentorship

Make your microschool exceptional

What do you get when you combine high quality, affordable and flexible Montessori training with coaching designed specifically for new and aspiring microschool teacher-leaders?

A comprehensive Montessori microschool training and mentorship, brought to you through an exclusive collaboration between Meridian and IMT.

Spanning a nine month period, mentees will gain valuable insight and guidance from veteran Montessori microschool leaders and long-time community experts. If your goal is to build, grow or sustain a learner-centered, multi-age microschool, this mentorship is the only one you need.

Why Montessori training matters for microschool leaders

This recorded Office Hours conversation is designed to help microschool leaders understand why Montessori training is especially relevant in multi-age learning environments and what that training actually entails through IMT. We explore adult preparation, the depth and scope of Montessori training, and why meaningful preparation matters far more than materials, branding, or attempting to replicate a fully built-out school model from the start. Watch the recorded conversation here.

This mentorship intentionally combines Montessori training with Meridian’s Grassroots Microschool Mentorship, offering ongoing guidance and relationship-centered support to help leaders translate Montessori principles into real, day-to-day microschool practice.
