To apply for Admission send VCMS:
Completed application

VCMS Applicants now Eligible for VDOE Scholarship FUNDS
Montessori Early Childhood and Infant & Toddler certification courses are now eligible for the Virginia Child Care Provider Scholarship Program. The maximum lifetime scholarship amount ins $4035. Contact info@vacenterformontessoristudies.com for more information about the process.
We understand that collecting all of these components takes some time. It is typically easiest and most convenient to send all of the application materials together and that is our strong recommendation. Once the application and deposit are received an admissions interview will be scheduled with the program directors, either in person or via a zoom or phone call. A successful interview leads to an adult learner contract and requires a $500.00 tuition deposit and the posted MACTE accreditation and AMS affiliation fee. Once accepted into VCMS, the intern will be responsible for locating a VCMS approved practicum site. VCMS will provide information about area Montessori schools.
