(Level 3)
MontShala Advanced Course
Designed for Pre-primary teachers, assistants, school leaders, and parents who have completed Level 2 and are ready to guide the child from consolidation to confident, visible mastery.
Where latent learning surfaces, Level 3 is the moment when the quiet work of Levels 1 and 2 reveals itself. The hand is steadier, attention lasts longer, and the child is ready for higher, integrated work such as real food preparation, refined stereognostic exploration, a joyful leap into writing and reading, and concrete arithmetic that leads to fluent operations. You will learn to plan longer work cycles, set higher criteria of perfection, and connect activities across Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, and Math so understanding becomes visible in action.
Beyond Academics: The MontShala Way
Nurturing body, mind, emotions, and spirit
Freedom within clear limits, so children learn to choose, concentrate, and take responsibility.
Preparing children for life, not just for exams.
Key Pillars of Montessori Child Psychology
Absorbent Mind -
The child unconsciously soaks in everything from the environment.
Sensitive Periods -
Special time-windows when certain learning is easy and joyful.
Human Tendencies -
Inborn drives to explore, work, seek order, and be independent.
You will also learn how to create your own Montessori-inspired workroom with simple and meaningful setups.

Other Courses
Basic Course
This is the first core course. It trains a new teacher to lovingly care for young children and manage them through the day. She learns the purpose and basic presentations of Exercises of Practical Life and Sensorial, ways to enrich vocabulary and number sense, and the child-centred foundations of the Montessori method.
Intermediate Course
This is the second core course. It builds on Level 1 and prepares teachers to work confidently with children up to five years. Teachers explore why sensorial, language and arithmetic activities are given, how they relate to sensitive periods, and learn EPL and sensorial work, sandpaper letters, movable alphabet and decimal-based arithmetic.
Kannada Kalisi
Kannada Kalisi is a specialised course for teaching Kannada to children of any age using Montessori principles. Teachers learn phonetic analysis, movable alphabet work and step-wise reading preparation, including Gunitakshara, Samyuktakshara, Ottakshara, Anunaasika, Arkavattu and Vatsruli, with clear, practical activities they can use easily in both Montessori and traditional classrooms every day.
Enrichment Packs
These are optional add-on packs that extend each level. They give extra presentations and variations in Exercises of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Arithmetic, helping teachers gain practice and confidence. For the diploma, learners also complete at least eight Enrichment Packs alongside the three core courses, deepening their understanding and classroom application.
Subject Core Streams
Subject Core courses are for those who want focused training in one area at a time. Separate tracks in Kannada, English, Math, Sensorial and Cultural work show step-by-step presentations and sequences. Completing each Subject Core gives a subject certificate; finishing all cores, with required Enrichment Packs, also leads to the full diploma.
By the end of this course, you will
Take on multi-step, purposeful tasks with care, speed, and accuracy.
Write spontaneously, read with growing fluency, and manage common orthographic hurdles.
Distinguish tricky sound patterns (open sounds, ee/oo, c/k/ck), avoid homophone confusions, and label the world with precise language.
Execute all four operations concretely (stamp game, boards, chains, charts), showing place value, exchanges, and mental organisation.
Work independently for longer stretches, choose appropriate follow-ups, and restore the environment with pride.
