Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education

Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) is the international standard setting and accrediting body for Montessori educator preparation. 

MACTE, founded in 1995, is dedicated to improving academic degree and certificate programs for Montessori professional educators who teach and lead in schools at the Infant and Toddler through Secondary II and Administrator levels and to assure the public of their quality.

Accreditation provides quality assurance for Montessori educator preparation programs. MACTE accreditation opens doors for educators who graduate from MACTE-accredited programs to the broadest possible job opportunities around the world. MACTE builds trust by collaborating with organizations and policymakers to ensure the quality of Montessori educator preparation is what adult learners deserve.
