Since 1988, the United Montessori Association has been providing Montessori independent study through distance learning. UMA revolutionized Montessori teacher training in 1999 and developed the world’s first all on-line Montessori teacher certification program. UMA removed the geographical and social barriers by making teacher training available and affordable to all people globally. UMA offers “anytime, anywhere” education to students worldwide.
Our Commitment
UMA is dedicated to preserving the original tenets of the Montessori method as created by Dr. Montessori, and to the success of each student in training. By upholding the true principles of Montessori education, our goal is to educate the adult in:
- Cultivating the child’s natural desire to learn
- Developing the child’s own unique potential
- Guiding the child in becoming a confident, compassionate, and productive individual in society
Our Purpose
We offer Montessori online distance learning that provides flexibility and affordability, to help you comfortably pursue your Montessori Teaching Certificate while you’re working. UMA fills a vital need to significant segments of the population who are unable to attend on-site classroom sessions, due to personal circumstances (job, family, location…). Together, we work toward a future in which every generation shares:
- A global bond
- Environmental responsibility
- Common goal for peace
~Our commitment to environmental sustainability guides all our business practices~
