Welcome to the Montessori Institute Northwest

Since 1979, our Montessori teacher training center in Portland, Oregon has offered rigorous, practical and in-depth adult education, in affiliation with the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). The quality of our graduates reflects the quality of our training: knowledgeable and compassionate, with a teaching practice grounded in a thorough understanding of Montessori principles and child development.

For many students, studying at MINW is a transformative experience. From our beautiful and comfortable training space to our friendly and helpful staff, we strive to support our students in every way possible.

We hope to welcome you to MINW soon, whether as a student, a teacher, a parent or an individual interested in learning more about Montessori education.
