Membership is more than access to resources. It is a way to belong to a global community connected by shared values and a commitment to Montessori education. As a member, you help support AMI’s work to advance Montessori education around the world — and become part of its future.
What payment options are there?
Payment of memberships and donations is available on this website using Visa, Mastercard or Amex.
Can my school become an AMI member?
AMI membership is currently for individuals. AMI is also developing its Global School Accreditation (GSA) programme, which is currently in its pilot phase. This will provide a separate way for schools to connect with and be recognised by AMI.
What does my membership include?
Your membership connects you to the AMI community and includes:
Voting rights at AMI's Annual General Meeting (AGM)
AMI's membership newsletter and updates from around the world
Discounts and access at to selected AMI events and congresses
Educational publications, including AMI Journals and Treasure Articles
Access to AMI Digital materials through your member credits, once the new service launches
