There are multiple forms of public transportation, and many social and cultural opportunities. The Manantial School offers a unique, full English immersion program to local Mexican children who predominantly come from middle and lower class families. The Manantial School is a gospel-saturated, K-12th program, with a mixture of U.S.-based standards and Mexican-based standards designed to meet the needs of the students and their families and prepare them for different paths after graduation.
