For 84 years, Manzano Day School has lived our mission of being “dedicated to innovative child-centered education, excellence in teaching, and Joy in Learning to prepare children for a life of discovery and community involvement in our diverse world.” We look forward to sharing our joy in learning with you.

Students attending Manzano Day School have the opportunity to experience a strong foundation of curricular experiences that set a path for lifelong learning.  In addition to reading, writing, arithmetic, and communication skills students experience art, music, physical education, Spanish and experiential education in our garden or at Fenton Ranch in the Jemez Mountains.
