JOBÂ PLACEMENTS
We get many enquiries for teachers from schools every year. We bring these career opportunities to the attention of our students before the end of the course. Many of our alumni are in good teaching positions in schools all over India and abroad. The demand for Montessori trained teachers is large and even ordinary schools prefer to take Montessori qualified teachers for their pre-school division. Kerala Education council has a placement cell, which assists students in finding suitable employment around the globe. Interested candidates may register their name for placements in India and abroad.
Many our former students are now either teaching in local Montessori Schools or have set up successful Montessori schools of their own and so many teachers are now working in various parts of the world. Other former students have found positions as teachers in the kindergarten, nursery departments of several independent preparatory schools.
