This website features updated content from the Montessori National Curriculum (MNC). This content is currently awaiting further community consultation and ACARA’s review process.
The current 2011 version of the curriculum is recognised as an alternative national curriculum framework by Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA). It is listed on ACARA's Recognition Register.
The 2011 Montessori National Curriculum is available via license to current member Montessori schools and centres. Visit Montessori Australia’s website to join and download your copy.
In addition to the updated curriculum, this website also provides Montessori centres, schools and practitioners with links to an extensive library of support material, videos and other relevant information.
A special note for parents:
The Montessori National Curriculum document is not a parent document. It has been designed for a Montessori classroom environment, with a full complement of Montessori materials, a multi-aged classroom of children, and trained Montessori educators. Parents who are wanting to create a Montessori home-school environment are encouraged to attend workshops and training courses that can support the use of the MNC within the home-school environment.
