MONTESSORI ORGANIZATION APPLICATION
MEMBERSHIP IN THE INTERNATIONAL MONTESSORI INDEX
Please keep a copy of this form as your invoice/receipt

THE INTERNATIONAL MONTESSORI INDEX, www.montessori.edu, is one of the most accessed Montessori site in the world today, with over 350,000 hits a month. It is a public service web site organized to provide detailed information on Montessori education to the public, completely supported by its members. The value of this site is that it does not just advertise one organization, nor does it give a long list of organizations with no information. Here the public can learn about Montessori theory and practice and can research and compare and make intelligent decisions about the value of membership in various organizations. NOTE: This is not the application for a Montessori Training center. For that application go to: training center application

To apply for membership, and to have your Montessori organization listed and/or linked to this site please print out this form and mail it, completely filled out accompanied by the membership fee in US Dollars to the address below. Keep a copy of your application as you invoice.
