Two Summer, Fully In-Person Format at MINT

The Montessori Institute of North Texas is thrilled to share that MINT’s upcoming AMI 0–3 Diploma Course has been officially approved by the Association Montessori Internationale. The internationally-recognized AMI 0-3 Diploma prepares adults to guide the youngest through the vital first years of life, laying the foundation for lifelong learning, independence, and joy.

News of this In-Person, Two-Summer format is especially valuable for international students. The full-time schedule and extended duration make it more compatible with visa requirements, offering the chance to study on campus while becoming part of the MINT community.

Visa eligibility varies by country and individual circumstances; we encourage applicants to consult local consulates for official guidance.
