Professional Montessori Training for Schools & Institutions — Toronto, Canada
WHO WE ARE
About CIMA
Canadian International Montessori Authority — your professional Montessori school development partner, based in Toronto.
OUR MISSION
Empowering Educators.
Enriching Young Minds.
CIMA was founded with a singular purpose: to raise the standard of Montessori professional development for schools and institutions across Canada and around the world.
We believe the most powerful way to transform early childhood education is not to train individual teachers in isolation — but to work alongside schools as a long-term professional development and transformation partner.
From teacher induction to leadership development, from classroom consultation to institutional review, CIMA offers a complete ecosystem of professional Montessori support.
“The goal is not just to train teachers, but to build a culture of excellence in Montessori education.”
