Academics
At Manzanita Community we believe that the social and emotional development of our students is at the core of strong academic performance. We focus on educating the whole child by providing diverse resources to our students and families to support their academic and social-emotional needs. When children feel part of their school they develop trust and caring relationships that foster community building and a positive school climate. A positive school climate provides a learning environment that allows for focused and rigorous academic instruction.
