OUR PROGRAMS
Seacoast Center for Education has provided services in New England and beyond since 1991, including off-site training by contract and international consultation.
We offer and ask for courtesy and a high degree of professionalism. Our approach to Montessori subject areas involves respect for our educational heritage and traditions as well as openness to the resources available to us today. Our focus on the traditional Montessori Method helps you to know where Dr. Montessori's important work ended and yours begins.
MACTE ACCREDITED AMS AFFILIATED
Our Elementary I and II programs in New Hampshire and Florida are accredited by the MACTE Commission of the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education of which we are a charter member.
Each additional
location undergoes a separate evaluation process before being included in
the prior grant of accreditation. It is our policy to offer only courses
consistent with MACTE standards and to seek accreditation for them.
Seacoast Center for Education is affiliated with the American Montessori Society.

Seacoast Center for Education does not engage in any form of discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, handicap, or sexual orientation in its admissions or hiring policies or the provision of services.
ADMISSIONS
Seacoast Center accepts applications throughout the year for entrance into our summer programs. In order to maintain the quality of life in our small setting we do limit class sizes and encourage early enrollment.
Candidates for elementary certification must hold at least a US Bachelor's degree or its equivalent. A degree in Education is not required. Degrees granted outside the United States must be evaluated for equivalence; this is at the student's own expense. We can offer advice on this process if it is necessary.
Candidates for Elementary I (6-9) certification must possess Early Childhood (2 1/2-6) certification from a MACTE-accredited institution OR undertake a 45 hour overview for that level which includes basic theory, methodology, and curricula. This overview must be documented before we are able to recommend candidates for certification. It is recommended but not required that the overview precede the beginning of the first academic summer. A private overview is acceptable (see Early Childhood Overview Guidelines.pdf) Please contact our office for information on how you may meet this requirement.
Candidates for the Elementary I-II (6-12) credential must hold an AMS Elementary I (6-9) credential or have completed all requirements for that level at an approved program or institution. Candidates who are currently working in Elementary II classrooms may register as Elementary I-II students and request to take curriculum classes for that level before completing EL I. Certification in these cases requires eventual completion of all EL I-II course work.
Individuals wishing to take either the Elementary I program without intention of certification will be considered on a space-available basis.
