Manzano Day School

Welcome to Manzano Day School!

At Manzano Day School, we believe that learning should be a joyful adventure! Established in 1938, our independent, nonprofit elementary school welcomes children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Here, we focus on child-centered education, ensuring that every child feels valued and inspired to explore the world around them.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to excellence in teaching and fostering a love for learning through our unique approach, which we proudly call Joy in Learning®. Our goal is to provide a rich and well-rounded educational experience that sets the stage for lifelong success.

What We Offer

At Manzano Day School, we offer a variety of core subjects, but that’s just the beginning! Our students also enjoy six exciting co-curricular subjects:

• Library: Dive into the world of books and stories!
• Music: Explore the joy of rhythm and melody.
• Physical Education: Stay active and healthy while having fun.
• Spanish: Discover a new language and culture.
• Technology: Learn to navigate the digital world.
• Visual Art: Unleash your creativity through art.

Environmental Education

We believe in nurturing not just minds, but also hearts. That’s why all our students participate in an environmental education program at Fenton Ranch. Here, they learn about their role in the larger world and how they can make a difference.

Community Connection

At Manzano Day School, we also emphasize the importance of giving back. Through grade-level community service projects, our students actively contribute to the Albuquerque community, learning valuable lessons about kindness and responsibility.

Join us at Manzano Day School, where every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun!
