You walk into the school & feel the excitement of all there! I'm raising my grandson (11yo). I have a lot of experience with children (having 4 of my own, over 75 foster & 9+ grandchildren), schools & education of children, including homeschooling. He gets upset even when he is very sick, if he has to miss school. He has caught that excitement about school & being there. He desires to be there as much as possible. This is his first year there & he's improved so much in his educational areas & his attitude about everything! I have to contribute it to all the ones that have been a team working w/him. The staff & faculty are great there! They sincerely love the children they work with! I'm very impressed w/the extra mile Manchester personnel goes to assist the children in their education & their lives too. Manchester is a school of choice & I'd recommend this school. There will be no regrets! They are a hidden diamond in the rough. I drive a good distance. It is well worth it! God Bless!
