SUMMARY:Montessori Elementary Course 2026-27
DESCRIPTION:Registration open now! \nENQUIREThe thirteen-month online\, live programme is designed for educators\, parents\, teachers\, and school heads\, and is rooted in the principles of Montessori and democratic education. This programme nurtures the skills and understanding needed to guide children aged 6 to 12 (Grades 1 to 8) with care\, confidence\, and clarity. \nTrusted by the alumni and 100+ Montessori schools across India and globally for providing quality education support\, SchoolScape’s Montessori Elementary course is an online course with live classes\, focussed on personalized sessions\, with the faculty maintaining a one-on-one connect with students on a regular basis. \nBased on Montessori principles and enriched with progressive educational ideas from around the world\, the SchoolScape Montessori Elementary Course equips educators\, school heads and parents to set up schools\, transform their classrooms immediately and effectively. Educators can begin making meaningful\, methodical changes in their practice from the following term or academic year. \nSchool heads and coordinators may choose the audit course – attending theory sessions\, submitting assignments\, and taking part in discussions – without the requirement of practical demonstrations or teaching practice or final examinations. \nAs a parent\, the diploma course transforms the way you relate to your child\, helping you foster independence\, intelligence and mutual respect. If you’re a homeschooling (or as we prefer to say\, HomeLearning) parent\,  it offers practical tools and deep insights to make learning joyful\, structured while being flexible\, and aligned with your child’s natural development. \nAt the heart of the course is a deep respect for the child. Too often\, we underestimate a child’s potential –  in thought\, in feeling\, in action. The course invites educators\, including parents\, to ensure that they are effective in helping children to learn and live their life spontaneously and simultaneously as they… \nlearn with understanding\, rather than merely by rote \nlearn comprehensively\, rather than in fragments \nlearn constructively\, rather than mechanically \nIt is an invitation to walk beside the child  gently\, wisely\, and with wonder. \nDownload Prospectus\n \nApplication Fee\nIndia\n₹ 5\,000 \nAPPLYOther Regions\nUS $ 100 \nAPPLYStart date\nMonday\, 31st Aug 2026 \nEnd date\nThursday\, 30th Sep 2027 \nDuration\n3 days a week\, for 13 months \nTime\n*Thursday & Friday: 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM IST\n8:30 AM to 11:00 AM UTC\n*Saturday: 9 AM – 11:30 AM IST\n4:00 AM to 6:30 AM UTC \ncontact classes\n10 full days in Apr-May \nOnline \n\n\nCourse Fee\n\n\n\n\nFee\nZone 1\nZone 2\nZone 3\n\n\n\n\nDiploma Course\nEarly Bird Fee\n₹ 109\,800 | US $ 1\,490 \nUS $ 1\,760\nUS $ 2\,200\n\n\nDiploma Course\nRegular Fee\n₹ 1\,22\,000 | US $ 1\,650 \nUS $ 1\,950\nUS $ 2\,450\n\n\nAudit Course / Assistant Teacher\nEarly Bird Fee\n₹ 1\,02\,600 | US $ 1\,390\nUS $ 1\,670\nUS $ 2\,120\n\n\nAudit Course / Assistant Teacher\nRegular Fee\n₹ 1\,14\,000 | US $ 1\,550\nUS $ 1\,850\nUS $ 2\,350\n\n\n\n\n*Plus GST for Indian Citizens\n*Group discount of 15% on regular fee for 3 or more participants joining from the same institution\nZone 1 Includes India\, Africa\, South America\, Central America and Asia (excluding countries in Zone 2)\nZone 2 Includes Japan\, Korea\, Singapore\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan\, Middle East\, Australia\, and New Zealand\nZone 3 Includes North America\, the United Kingdom\, Europe \nTestimonials\nI have already done my primary course in IMTC\, Chennai. I wanted to do the elementary for a long time but couldn’t as I had so many responsibilities at home and at my school that I could stay far for a long time. The online course came as the God’s gift\, but I was little reluctant at first as to how the course can be taught online\, as it needs a lot of hands-on experience with the materials. But after my first class\, I decided firmly that I am going to do the course. \nAs the course went by\, I had the doubt whether I can finish the course to the fullest. So\, I opted for audit course\, even for which I was very doubtful. But to my surprise\, the faculties were very promising and encouraging during my down times. They were all just in a phone call distance away. Ms. Amukta was always there to pull out our fears and Ms. Nalini\, gracefully endured our problems. All the other faculties too were very friendly. Its only because of Ms. Amukta and Ms. Nalini’s encouragement and motivation that I was able to flexibly complete my audit course and now I am incredibly happy and confident to execute this to my children. \nI thank the entire team and expect their wishes for the implementation. Thank You. \nDeepthi Kannan\nCorrespondent\, Senthil Public School\, Salem\nIMTC-Central\nSchoolScape 6th Montessori Elementary Course\nOnline \nMaa Vidyadevi\nAcademic Head\, Isha Vidya\nIMTC-Central\nSchoolScape 6th Montessori Elementary Course\nOnline \nI’m truly grateful for the opportunity to attend this course. Though familiar with Montessori for primary\, I had no clue about the Elementary program. I had never considered attending a program like this and kind of fell into it when someone sponsored the course for me. It far exceeded my expectations. I had no idea I would get so much out of it\, and all I had been missing till now! I bow down to the dedicated teachers and fellow students who made this such an amazing experience.  \nThank you for this opportunity to grow as an educator and person. \nView All Testimonials
