4 Things About Mantua Elementary

[su_icon_text icon=”icon: book” icon_color=”#800020″ icon_size=”39″]Academics

Mantua is a center for Fairfax County Advanced Academic Placement. It offers full-time advanced placement for eligible students that focuses on four core content areas. The program is designed to meet the needs of advanced learners.

Over the last 15 years, enrollment in these AAP programs have more than triple which is caused a swell in both the number of schools turned into centers and the number of schools that offer Level IV programs.

Eligible students in enighboring schools with Level IV academic placement whose base school doesn’t offer Level IV classes may attend Mantua.

Mantua also has a Foreign Language in an Elementary School (FLES) program making it one of only a small percentage of Fairfax County elementary schools that offers foreign language. Students work on developing basic communicative skills in a foreign language while reinforcing content from other subjects.

There are many activities for students before, during, and after school:

• Band, Chorus, and Strings – students in the upper grades may elect to participate in one or more music program in addition to general music
• Safety Patrol – Patrols support the staff and crossing guard during arrival and dismissal.
• Morning News Show- student anchors run a morning news program each school day highlighting the arts, nutrition, and Italian
• SCA (Student Council Association) – made up of officers and representatives from each classroom.  [/su_icon_text]

Mantua is a part of the Woodson Pyramid. That means students move on to Frost middle for grades 7 and 8 then Woodson High School for grades 9 through 12. Mantua is one of the largest elementary schools in Fairfax County with nearly 1100 students enrolled. Other schools in the pyramid have anywhere from 350 to 800 students.

Mantua services students living in both Annandale and Fairfax, including the subdivisions of parts of Chesterfield Mews, Fairfax Plaza, Mantua Hills, Pine Ridge, and Ridgelea Hills.  We always recommend you check out the Fairfax County Boundary Locator to confirm the schools serving a specific address before making any decision to buy or rent a home. [/su_icon_text]

[su_icon_text icon=”icon: bell-slash” icon_color=”#800020″ icon_size=”39″]School Hours

One important thing to consider is the school’s hours of operation. Mantua’s hours are Monday through Friday are 9:20 to 4:05 for grades K – 6.

If you need to be at work by 8:30 that could present some challenges for you, especially if you’re commuting to the District or the Pentagon.

Mantua offers SACC which is a before and after-school program has with the Office for Children of Fairfax County. However, I have to warn you that SACC often times has a waiting list that’s months long. Check out the SACC website to see if there are spots currently available.

If you are unable to get your child signed up for SACC there are a number of private before and after care programs in the area that will drop off and pick up your child.[/su_icon_text]

Parent involvement has been linked to student achievement. When looking for a school for your kids you’re also looking for a school that’s a good fit for you as well.

The Mantua PTA supports a number of efforts to enrich the lives of the students, teachers, and families at the school. They sponsor a number of popular activities each year including social events and fundraisers.

Each school year the PTA sponsors a number of programs including Kids Care Club, Drama Club, Chess Club, Intramural Basketball, Odyssey of the Mind, Foreign Language Experience Program (FLEX), and before and after school enrichment classes.

There are lots of opportunities to support your child and the school by volunteering in the lunchroom, office, and classrooms. Your level of involvement can be as much or as little as you like. You can sign up to volunteer on the school website which is linked below.[/su_icon_text]
