We adore Manor school. Our son is thriving and our daughter is counting down the days until she starts kindergarten. The community is incredibly special, and the principal, teachers and staff are all top notch.

I switched to Manor from one of the local charters and am SO glad that I did! I see enthusiastic, progressive, student-driven teaching in action every day. My child is making huge academic strides and is just bouncing with enthusiasm for learning. We love being part of the local community and have found it welcoming and filled with committed parents who dedicate many volunteer hours to nurturing all of our community’s children. I'm ashamed that I somehow thought I could find something better at a charter when what I really wanted for my child was right here at my neighborhood school. Don't be taken in by glossy videos or an exclusive "lottery" system. Live the values that attracted you to Fairfax in the first place and send your child to your truly public school - you won't be sorry.

My two children are at Manor now, currently in the 3rd and 4th grades. Overall their experience has been wonderful. The teachers are excellent, devoted, and inspiring. Kindergarten was magical. The learning is a beautiful balance of independent responsibility with work that is hands-on and project based. My children learn about the environment, poetry, history, art, music, math, and beyond, they are also avid readers.Happily, Manor has recently entered into a partnership with EL Education (aka Expeditionary Learning). This research based, academically rigorous approach is the gold standard for project based learning. This alignment has only brought more depth and richness to this already excellent school; providing a framework for the teachers and assuring alignment through the grades.Our entire family is deeply involved and connected to the warm and welcoming community at Manor Elementary School.

My older daughter attended Manor from grades 3-5 and had a great experience, and I believe it prepared her well for the success she enjoys in high school, both academically and socially. My younger daughter has been at Manor K-4th grade (present), and I have been impressed by the school's leadership, its attention to making the students good citizens who are social and kind, and its excellent teaching staff. The school is safe and inspiring. What more could a parent ask for? I give Manor School my top recommendation.
