Bellamy Manor School, Virginia Beach

Established in 1983, Bellamy Manor School was the original Manor School for owner Jan Kottke. Bellamy Manor moved to its present location in 1990. Bellamy Manor’s reputation for advanced childhood education traveled into Chesapeake, which brought Greenbrier Manor its place on the map in 1992. As enrollment increased and interest continued to soar, Broad Bay Manor School was opened in 1993. Enrollment continued to quickly climb in each of these schools and Beach Manor opened in the Courthouse area in the fall of 1996. The Manor Schools have developed an eclectic approach to early childhood education. Using materials gathered from Montessori, the British infant system, and traditional education methods, Manor School teachers target the needs of each child in their class.
