Requirements / Qualifications

All of our teachers hold dual credentials : a California teaching credential (with ELL authorization) and a Montessori credential.

For the California teaching credential, we are looking for applicants who have their California Multiple Subject credential or who will be intern-eligible by July 1.

While we prioritize applicants who are already Montessori trained, we realize that most applicants will need Montessori training after they are hired.

HOW DO I GET MONTESSORI TRAINED?

Montessori training is age based, with the Middle School Montessori training taking two years and require travel to either Houston or Cincinnati.

California Montessori Project (CMP) will pay the tuition of Montessori training, plus travel and lodging. Since CMP pays for the tuition, travel, and lodging, the teacher won't receive the Montessori certificate stipend (that appears on the pay scale) until year five of working with CMP.
