History of MIT
The Montessori Institute of Tokyo is the first training center in Japan for 3-6 year old teachers that is officially recognized by the International Montessori Association (AMI ), which is headquartered in the Netherlands.
Since its opening on October 19, 1975 by Honorary Director Shizuko Matsumoto, the center has produced over 2,200 international Montessori teachers.
Currently, Setsuko Miura, an AMI certified teacher training trainer for levels 3-6, is involved in training world-class, high-quality Montessori educators who can support the holistic development of children who will represent the future of the world.
In addition, our center aims to spread true Montessori education throughout Japan and the world.
