Advanced Program Testing is not required by Manual for application or admission. However, it is recommended as it will allow your student more class selections. This testing is administered by Jefferson County and arrangements can be made by calling Options & Magnets at 485-3323. When you submit your application, please note on it that your child is scheduled for Advanced Testing. Once you have a copy of the results, please mail it to Manual noting your child's name and program so it can be attached to the application. If your child has taken the test within the past 2 years and you have the results, please include a copy of the results with your application.

Application Process
  • Options & Magnet Application Form - Available on this site, at a local JCPS Middle School, or by contacting Options & Magnets at 485-3323. This form needs to be completed and mailed to Jefferson County. Your student will then be placed on the computer as showing interest in Manual and alert us to watch for their application material.
  • Manual Application Materials - The list of required materials can be obtained on this web site (see Admissions) or in the Manual Main Office. Please follow the directions for your appropriate program and return this application to Manual as early as possible. Deadline for accepting application materials is January 9, 2009.

Request to Shadow at Manual
duPont Manual is a highly desired school, we do all that we can to ensure that all those from Private Schools are able to have the experience to shadow at Manual. However, JCPS limits us on the number of 8th grade shadows we are allowed have visiting with us each day. Please call the office at 485-8241 to set up a day to shadow.

Please note: Shadowing is not consider an excused absence under JCPS policy. Therefore, JCPS Middle School Students are NOT allowed to shadow..
