Heathmont Bilingual Montessori has completed one year on the Genuine Montessori Pathway and has reached the Annual Accomplishment stage. To achieve Annual Accomplishment, an organisation must submit a satisfactory Progress Report on the implementation of its Improvement Plan within 12 months. Rather than indicating completion of the pathway, Annual Accomplishment signifies that participants have completed all components necessary for ongoing work towards genuine Montessori practice. Each year, participants will choose new focus areas from their Self Study to create an updated Improvement Plan for submission.
