Guiding children to be passionate learners, independent thinkers, and engaged citizens.
Primary students develop the foundation of academic and social skills that prepare them for life. Areas of emphasis include practical life, cultural, sensorial, language, math, music, and motor skills. Learning alongside peers of mixed ages, younger students benefit from the example of older students and older students serve as role models for younger students.
Elementary students are motivated to learn through action, exploration, and discovery. Lower Elementary students (Ages 6-9) acquire academic skills and develop their personal and social conscience. Upper Elementary students (Ages 9-12) inquire more deeply into advanced mathematics, literature, writing, geography, world history, science, and technology and develop an understanding of the relationships that exist between individuality, culture, and assimilation into a broader community.
The Middle School program prepares students for success in high school and beyond. Students become sophisticated thinkers and problem solvers through purposeful work and an advanced academic curriculum. Meaningful social interactions between students foster healthy social development into adolescence.
Specials classes are designed to expand children’s exposure to a wide range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. The MSSA Library is situated in the heart of the campus where students visit regularly to instill a love of reading and research skills. Specials also include music, art, Spanish, motor skills, and more!
A wide variety of after-school activities are available to MSSA students to support varying interests. MSSA’s athletic program fosters sports skills, physical fitness, performance, character, teamwork, leadership development, self-confidence, resilience, and fun in a productive environment designed for development and progression.
The MSSA campus is a beautiful and calm oasis situated on 24 wooded acres on the outskirts of San Antonio. Outdoor spaces include gardens and patios for every classroom, playgrounds and athletic fields, and a serene nature trail.
