Accreditations

The Montessori School of Pensacola is the only accredited Montessori school in the Pensacola area.

Why Accreditation Matters

The name “Montessori” is in the public domain and therefore any school can use the word Montessori in its name. AMS (American Montessori Society) accreditation matters because it validates a school's commitment to high-quality Montessori education and demonstrates its adherence to rigorous standards. Accreditation provides assurance to parents, educators, and the broader community that a school is implementing authentic Montessori practices and building a culture of continuous improvement.

Authentic Montessori

We are committed to delivering authentic Montessori education. Our accreditation affirms that our classrooms, curriculum, and teacher training meet national standards and embody Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy—ensuring a high-fidelity, child-centered learning experience rooted in independence, exploration, and respect.

Professional Guides

Every classroom at The Montessori School of Pensacola is led by a fully certified Montessori teacher. Our dedicated staff brings deep Montessori understanding and a commitment to ongoing growth. Through AMS accreditation, we access ongoing professional development, resources, and support, ensuring we continually deliver high-quality, authentic Montessori education.

Dedication to Excellence

As an accredited Montessori school, we are committed to excellence through ongoing self-reflection and professional growth. Accreditation requires rigorous documentation, site visits, and continual evaluation to ensure we meet and exceed national standards. This process fosters a culture of accountability and improvement. Our next school-wide accreditation visit is scheduled for March 2026.

Benefits for Students and Families

AMS accreditation assures families that their child receives a high-quality Montessori education in a nurturing, thoughtfully prepared environment. Students thrive in classrooms that promote curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. Accreditation ensures continuous improvement and accountability, helping students build a strong foundation for future success.
