Manzo Elementary School at a Glance

At Manzo, we empower children to be future leaders. With innovative math and science initiatives and project-based learning, like our hands-on ecology project complete with on-site garden, greenhouse and animal habitat, our students become critical thinkers, problem solvers and lifelong learners. From the time students enter to the time they graduate, Manzo Elementary develops the whole student – preparing each child for greater heights of education, achievement and global citizenship.
