MANZANITA
PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL


Welcome to Manzana Middle School Academy
This year is a historic milestone for our community. Our 6th graders are beginning their middle school journey on the Manzanita campus, while our 7th graders venture onto the Allan Hancock College campus. Together, we are building a program that blends opportunity, structure, and care for every scholar.
At Manzana Middle School Academy, we provide a structured and supportive learning environment where scholars are encouraged to take on academic challenges while developing the character and skills they need for the future. Our scholars are organized and supported using the AVID framework, which helps them stay prepared, engaged, and successful in their learning.
We are proud to offer a rich elective wheel, giving students the opportunity to explore their interests and talents through:
• Spanish
• Visual Arts
• Family Consumer Science
• Technology Exploration
• Creative Writing
• Financial Literacy
Our school culture is guided by ROAR:
• Respectful
• Organized
• Accountable
• Resilient
These values form the foundation of our behavior expectations and the way we learn and grow together.
Beyond the classroom, Manzana scholars thrive in clubs and sports that expand learning and leadership opportunities:
Clubs – STEM, Leadership, Fitness, Dance Team, Honor Choir, and Advanced Drama Club
Sports – Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Girls Flag Football, and Track & Field
This is a truly historic year for Manzana Middle School Academy, and we are excited to partner with families as we create a meaningful, challenging, and inspiring middle school experience.
