School Membership Information

The South African Montessori Association is open to all Montessori individuals and schools joining as members to have Government representation, access, ongoing policy advice and support in all matters concerning compliance issues, school policies, etc. Please follow this link for contact information to find out more detailed information on how to become a SAMA member.

SAMA has devised a 3 level membership, which is a self evaluation process. SAMA provides the Montessori guidelines of what is required but it is essentially each member school choosing to affiliate’s responsibility to ensure they implement the requirements at each Tier Level. This is to guide our independently owned member Montessori communities, so that clear guidelines can be offered with specific emphasis on fully implemented Montessori education. (see Code of Conduct & Fundamental Principles on the About Tab)

The three levels of Membership allows for environments at different stages to obtain the support, inspiration of involvement in an Association and exposure to communities that have achieved the fundamental principles of Montessori practice.
The executive committee is currently busy exploring further Quality Assurance processes for member schools.
