Advanced Diploma in Montessori Method of Education (ADMT)
Professional Montessori Teacher Training for Children Aged 2½ – 6 Years
The Advanced Diploma in Montessori Method of Education (ADMT) at Modern Montessori International (MMI) Nigeria is designed for educators who want to deepen their Montessori teaching expertise and guide children between the ages of 6 and 9 years.
This advanced Montessori teacher training programme builds on the foundation provided by the Diploma in Montessori Method of Education (DMT) and focuses on the developmental changes that occur as children grow into more independent, imaginative, and socially aware learners.
Through this course, teachers gain the knowledge and practical skills required to guide children during one of the most intellectually active stages of childhood.
Program Overview
The Advanced Diploma in Montessori Method of Education (ADMT) explores the Montessori philosophy and teaching strategies specifically designed for children in the 6–9 age group.
During this stage of development, children begin to develop deeper curiosity, stronger reasoning abilities, and a growing desire for independence. Montessori education supports these changes by providing structured learning experiences that encourage exploration, collaboration, and critical thinking.
This programme prepares educators to create dynamic learning environments where children can develop strong foundations in academic subjects, creativity, social awareness, and problem-solving.
The ADMT programme is ideal for teachers who want to advance their Montessori qualifications and specialize in elementary Montessori education.
