This is the start of the application process for Montessori School Verification. 

• Once you have registered for the process you will be automatically emailed a digital copy of the Self-Study Manual and Form. Be sure to check your junk if you do not see this email soon.
• Follow the instructions for completing and submitting the form and required documents.
  
• You will be contacted to schedule a Verifier visit after your self-study and required documents have been reviewed by the Verification Chair. If your school is AMS accredited or AMI/USA recognized, you only need to complete the self-study and not have a visit from a verifier. 
• After the visit the Verifier will submit a report to the Verification Committee for review and approval at the next (monthly) PNMA board meeting.
  

PNMA Invites our members and friends to a full day together exploring our vision for effective and engaging school communication with our families and supporters.  We are planning a day of connection and conviviality to enhance our community and share our experiences of creating the messaging and responsiveness of our schools to the parents of children we serve.

Plan for yourself and your school colleagues to share this opportunity in person.

Registration will open in the Spring of 2025.
