Manteno Elementary School is a school servicing a growing community in Kankakee County, IL. The village is approaching a population of 10,000. The elementary school provides education to two groups of students. We first serve a population of 120 3-5 year olds in an early childhood blended program. This half day state funded program is part of the Pre-School for All in Illinois. Beginning in the Fall of 2009 will also be serving 15 children in a Head Start program. This is through a cooperative agreement with the Kankakee School Dist. 111. The children then attend Manteno Primary School for their Kindergarten and 1st grade years. The children return to the elementary school for 2nd - 4th grade, with a student population of approx. 500 students. The school has a solid curriculum based on instruction in reading, math, science and social studies. Physical education, art and music is added to the program to produce a student who is well rounded.
