Pakistan Montessori Council (PMC) started its School Affiliation Program in 2007. Since then hundreds of schools have benefited from its valuable services.
Under this program, PMC welcomes any Montessori school, Montessori organization, or any other Montessori-related business anywhere in the world to be an affiliated member.
As recently as 2006, the world at large was celebrating and honoring Dr. Maria Montessori for a hundred years of establishment of Montessori methodology of education. However, as sad as it may seem, the Pakistani schools, in general, are still ignorant of this highly successful and internationally acclaimed system of education.
Our survey, conducted in 2007, reports that most schools want their pre-school sections to convert from conventional to Montessori but fail to do so.
The main problems/hurdles included:
- the cost of equipping schools with Montessori material is beyond the reach of many aspirant schools.
- the expensive nature of Montessori training keeps administrators from getting their teachers trained in Montessori methodology.
- unavailability of curriculum guidelines and any supporting organization pushes schools to stick to their conventional instructional methods.
This has impelled PMC to develop a comprehensive program of School Affiliation for new and existing Montessori centers which want to start with Montessori or convert from conventional systems to Montessori system of education respectively.

School Accreditation Program
Joining PMC’s school affiliation program is the first step toward achieving school accreditation. With the help of the Self Accreditation Guidebook along with our services and resources, the school begins its journey towards achieving the international standards and criteria set by the world’s renowned Montessori organizations. This self-improvement process is fun and the results will improve greatly.
Having achieved the set goals, PMC can be requested to inspect the school. If the minimum criteria are met, the school is awarded the accreditation certificate, which means the school truly becomes an international standard Montessori school. The accreditation process includes some additional costs, related to inspections and will depend on various factors. During the accreditation process, PMC’s support would be available through several means.
