The Montessori School of San Antonio provides a personalized education using the Montessori method and philosophy to support each student's development while fostering a love of learning. We partner with parents, guiding students to achieve their full potential in academic, social, physical, intellectual, aesthetic, and moral development from early childhood through adolescence.In a natural, orderly, and calm environment, MSSA teachers create a culture of acceptance, independence, and intellectual exploration while emphasizing the personal development of each child. The school's approach results in parents' confidence that their children are acquiring love of learning, independent thinking, and self reliance.A Montessori education is organized around the developmental needs and characteristics of children at different stages in their lives. Based on the philosophy of Maria Montessori, the Montessori method addresses the needs of the "whole child"—academic, emotional, social, physical and spiritual.Hands-on learning, mixed-age classrooms, uninterrupted work periods, and accommodation of different learning styles, talents, and pace are just some of the characteristics that distinguish Montessori from more traditional educational approaches. For more than a century, a Montessori learning environment has been proven to:•Foster critical thinking, independence, creativity, and a love of learning.•Cultivate stewardship of the environment and responsibility toward the greater community.•Produce graduates who are sought after by top high schools, colleges, and universities.•Provide the intellectual foundation to meet new challenges in the global marketplace.
