- exceptional communication skills,
- ethical character, and
- civic & environmental responsibility

Manara Academy hosts a highly competitive foreign language program. At Manara, students are encouraged to express their cultural heritage - our student body is extremely diverse, contributing to a school atmosphere with culture as its focal point.

Only the 6th day of our ADSY Summer Camp, and so much has already been accomplished! From engaging activities and learning opportunities to creating memories and building connections, our students and staff have been making every moment count.
The energy, excitement, and growth we've seen in just one week have been incredible. We are proud of all that has been achieved so far and can't wait to see what the rest of the summer brings.
Now, we're looking forward to one of the highlights of the seasonβ€”our Hawaiian Falls field trip this Friday! It's sure to be a fun-filled day of laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
Summer is off to an amazing start
