We are excited to offer a new blended course! A portion of our course will now be conducted on-line through Flathead Valley Community College. The on-line portion consists of three classes: Montessori Philosophy and Foundations of Early Childhood Part I & Part II and Montessori Classroom Leadership. These classes will be offered in a progression, one each semester beginning in the summer. The addition of the on-line element will reduce the time required for students to be in-residence and provide a consistent means of contact and focus throughout the year. Students will earn college credit (undergraduate) for the completion of these classes.
While these classes are a required part of our credential course, students must complete FVCC admission and register for the on-line classes directly through FVCC. Tuition for these classes is administered by FVCC and therefore due at the time of registration. The tuition amount is dependent upon residency status - the estimated total of which for all three classes is $1200-$1600. For more information please visit:
