Stage Progression
Seton Montessori Institute’s Credential programs are organized into six successive phases. These phases are:
Phase I: An in-depth personal interview
Phase II: A small-group or individual orientation that introduces preparatory assignment work
Phase III: Beginning academics offered twice annually in a weekend format in the Spring and a weekday format during the Summer
Phase IV: A nine-month supervised practicum
Phase V: A sequence of continuing academic seminars that give support during what is typically the practicum year
Phase VI: A postgraduate seminar that encourages students to begin the habit of participating in regular continuing education.
