To educate all students of a diverse community to become responsible, thinking, creative, literate citizens who strive for personal excellence, function, successfully, and enrich society
Cole Manor, built in 1956 in East Norriton Township, houses over 400 students in grades K-5. In 2004, Cole Manor’s PSSA scores met or exceeded the state guidelines and therefore met Average Yearly Progress (AYP) as required under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB)Act. Cole Manor was recognized in the Philadelphia Inquirer as one of the schools in the region having made the largest gains in reading in one year.
Because Cole Manor’s mascot is a comet, our school wide behavior program is titled Comet Choices. All teachers and faculty members are encouraging students to make positive Comet Choices in their everyday life. Cole Manor also has a bus-safety incentive program in place. Each year, students who consistently follow proper bus etiquette are treated to a surprise program in June.
Cole Manor has substituted Positive Play for the traditional recess time. During Positive Play, students are lead by teachers in structured physical activities. Each class has a schedule and rotates through different stations each day of the week.
Cole Manor’s central focus is a commitment to children and ensuring that each child receives the customized attention that he or she needs. During the school year, our students and teachers are assisted by parent volunteers and the Foster Grandparent Program in which local senior citizens volunteer their time to help our youngsters
