Validation Project School Overview and Process

​What?
The Validation Project is a way for Montessori schools to demonstrate that they meet threshold standards for those components essential to a Montessori classroom as determined by the Validation Committee and approved by the MAT Board. It is administered by MAT volunteer Montessori educators.
Why?
A validated school assures parents that their children will be attending a school that implements the essential components for a Montessori education. The Validation Project assures TN state agencies, like the DOE, that a validated school has Montessori credentialed teachers, uses the curriculum, materials and teaching strategies to provide quality Montessori education, and provides a “definition” for the use of name Montessori.
Who?
All Montessori schools in the state can choose to participate and become validated. Montessori educators volunteer their time to administer the program. The program currently validates Early Childhood classrooms but will expand soon to include all levels of Montessori education in the state.
​How?
  1. Completion of an application and application fee.
  2. Complete a School Questionnaire.
  3. An on-site visit by a 2-person Verifier Team of Montessori teachers.
  4. Approval by the Approval Committee
  5. A Certificate of Validation.
For detailed information, please read the Validation Project Handbook. Still have questions, contact the Validation Project Coordinator at ValidationProject@matenn.org​
