At MCM's state-of-the-art facility in St. Paul, students prepare for careers as Montessori guides and earn the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) diploma. Each fall, students begin a one-year course of study toward a primary diploma. Every third summer, students begin the summer-intensive, 2-1/2 year elementary diploma program.
