History
The Montessori School of San Antonio was founded as the Judson School – a Montessori Workshop in 1974 by Gay and Jim Judson. That year, 18 Primary level students (aged 3 to 6) attended classes in space leased from Asbury United Methodist Church on San Pedro Avenue. After the school expanded to three sections of Primary students, it began to serve older children as well, adding its first section of Lower Elementary in 1981 and Upper Elementary in 1985. Pressed for space, in 1986 the rapidly-expanding school found a new home at 705 Trafalgar, the current location of the Alamo Heights Tennis Center. That same year the school added its first Middle School class.

Lexi credits the early Montessori education for all her academic success. From starting at MSSA as a half-dayer, the school instantly provided an incredibly supportive environment that also encouraged independence from a young age. Whether it was trying to get through her planner faster to have more time to read Harry Potter or write a book series with her friends about the class pet mouse, Bob, MSSA instilled a sense of personal responsibility and time management in Lexi in the best way possible: making it fun. She will forever cherish the friends and connections she left the school with, not all primary teachers would come visit their former student who’s bed-ridden and sick five years later. With so many amazing memories from the school, perhaps the greatest gift of all it gave her was a life-long love of learning and sense of intellectual curiosity.
Absolutely outstanding! Love you, Lexi Dalrymple!🥰 Congratulations!🎉
