Waterpark Montessori is a private college with extensive experience and international references, based on the educational ideology of Dr. Maria Montessori, which is committed to providing education of excellence in Norway for training Montessori teachers to international standards

In 1991 Clare Healy, from Ireland, started giving Montessori part-time training in Oslo for pre-school and school under the control of Montessori St. Nicholas London. In 1998 Montessori St. Nicholas was amalgamated with another college and this provided an opportunity to establish a Norwegian Montessori training. Clare Healy established Waterpark Montessori in Norway. Waterpark was able to reach students in all parts of Norway using modern flexible teaching methods such as intensive seminar workshops and internet learning. With the co-operation of Montessori teachers of different backgrounds in Norway the basic Montessori curriculum was expanded and adapted to suit Scandinavia.

Waterpark has a history of close co-operation with SMI (Svenska Montessori Institute) and in 2003 they together established an Adolescent 12+ years training which continues to run in both Oslo and Gothenburg. The Adolescent programme for Montessori has not been fully developed anywhere in the world although a core research group in USA promise a curriculum in 2012. Training programmes (including Waterpark) are based on adapting the Montessori core principles, including Erdkinder, to the demands of a modern day school and curriculum for this age group.
