Montessori teacher training

Application procedure

We offer Montessori teacher training at Orchard House School as well as at our sister schools Bassett House School (Kensington) and Prospect House School (Putney).

You can download a copy of the student prospectus to read off-line.

Please complete an application form. (You can download Acrobat Reader free of charge from Adobe's website.) You should print out the form and send it to the school of your preference together with a recent passport sized photograph and a curriculum vitae. The address of each school can be found at the bottom of the application form. If you have questions you would like answered before completing an application form, please contact the school you are interested in.

Candidates may then be invited to meet children and staff in their chosen school, during which there will be an opportunity to discuss the course with the headmistress. Candidates may be asked to spend 20 minutes on a short exercise.

Successful candidates will be required to pay a deposit of £250 to the school to secure their place. Subject to satisfactory attendance during the year and successful completion of the course, this is refunded at the end of July at the same time as the school pays the final instalment of the bursary and, if awarded, the bonus for the summer term.
