Additional Considerations
Depending on your situation and practicum site, there may be additional out-of-pocket costs (e.g., background checks, fingerprinting, TB tests, recommended books/supplies, or school-specific onboarding requirements). Please confirm details with the Program Director during your interview.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Many Montessori schools offer sponsorship opportunities to support those pursuing teacher education. In exchange for a commitment to work at the school after graduation, sponsorship often includes tuition assistance and the chance to gain practical experience through internships. This partnership fosters strong connections between educators and schools, creating a supportive foundation for a successful Montessori career. Don’t hesitate to ask your school if they offer sponsorships!
