Montessori awards its 150th accreditation

Practice
The Montessori St Nicholas Charity awarded its 150th accreditation during the second MEAB Leadership conference at the Institute of Education in London on Saturday.

The MEAB - Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Scheme - was introduced five years ago by the charity. Thirty-seven more Montessori schools have gained accreditation in the past year, taking the total to 150.

The scheme acknowledges and supports good, genuine Montessori practice and promotes greater understanding among parents and the wider educational sector of what constitutes ‘best practice’ in Montessori settings.

Barbara Isaacs, Director of National Strategies, said, ‘It is a privilege to bring together Montessori owners and managers to share in their continued efforts to improve their practice by participating in the Montessori Accreditation and Evaluation Scheme.’

The conference is used as a forum for leaders in Montessori to discuss different aspects of Montessori practice, with the focus this year on research.
