Welcome to The Montessori School of San Antonio

Where children are guided to be passionate learners, independent thinkers, and engaged citizens.

The Montessori School of San Antonio was founded as the Judson School – a Montessori Workshop in 1974. From there it has grown to include Primary, Elementary, and Middle School Montessori programs. The MSSA campus is a secure 24-acre parcel at the intersection of Loop 1604 and Rogers Ranch Parkway in far North-Central San Antonio with a surrounding environment designed specifically to meet the learning criteria set out by Dr. Maria Montessori.

As a parent, I can confidently say that I could not have chosen a better community for my children and our family unit. MSSA works hard to maintain a wonderful learning environment where grace and courtesy are always paramount. The education is challenging, yet manageable, and it allows students to have a very subtle transition when moving on to a higher grade-level."

Academics at MSSA

With an active and experiential learning environment, the academic program at The Montessori School of San Antonio lays the foundation for children to become lifelong learners. Smaller class sizes allow for accommodating individual students and their personal learning styles. MSSA values all student’s unique strengths and guides them to become strong community members.

Did you know that in Montessori classrooms, every part of speech has its own grammar symbol to spark curiosity? 🗻The noun is a large black triangle, representing a powerful mountain and the solid things in our world; 🔴the verb takes the shape of a red circle, symbolizing lively action and movement; and the 🔼adjective is marked as a medium blue triangle, shining light on the beautiful descriptions we use. Montessori Grammar Symbols turn parts of speech into a colorful, tangible experience! As students identify nouns, verbs, and adjectives, they develop a mastery of grammar, a love of words, and the confidence to experiment with complex writing. #mssa #themontessorischoolofsanantonio #montessori #montessorischool

Last week, our students dove into a world of cultural discovery! Several classrooms learned more about the Día de los Muertos and the altars created to commemorate the lives of loved ones. Others explored the meaning of Diwali and even created vibrant sidewalk art in honor of the holiday. Thank you, parents and guests, for sharing a piece of your life with us. #themontessorischoolofsanantonio #mssa

🍎Over the past few weeks, Ms. Lisas Primary class enjoyed tasty baked apples as a snack. Heres the awesome part: they prepared the dish for themselves.❤️ They started by cutting two apple slices into smaller pieces, added a pat of butter, and sprinkled cinnamon to their liking. After the apples had baked, each child enjoyed a special snack prepared 💯% by them. By preparing their own snack, the students gain practice in following steps, making choices, and taking pride in their work. 🍎Experiences like this nurture self-reliance and joy, laying a strong foundation for future learning. #themontessorischoolofsanantonio #MSSA #bakedapples #montessori
