Overview of Accreditation Process

MACTE recommends all programs read the MACTE Guide to Accreditation before submission of the Initial/Renewal Accreditation Application.

Templates to be used when writing a Self-Study or submitting a Substantive Change (when applicable)

For all substantive changes, complete the Substantive Change(s) Application linked below. Upon receipt of this application and corresponding substantive change fee(s) payment, the MACTE office will create a submission report within the Accreditation Management Portal for the program to submit all required documentation. Please see application for further instructions.

Montessori organizations which meet the criteria may apply to be a MACTE Recognized Organization (MRO). Once the completed application, affiliation curriculum form, and application fee are submitted, the MACTE Staff reviews the documentation, asks clarifying questions if necessary, and informs the applicant of the decision.
