Mr. Manwani

Since 2006, the Manwani family has been an important part of the Clairbourn community. Bhart Manwani fell in love with Clairbourn while searching for the perfect school for his older child, Vicky, who started Clairbourn in JPK and graduated in 2017.

Bhart recalled Vicky’s transformation during her 11 years at Clairbourn: “Vicky came to school as a timid young girl. When she was in the lower school, the Door of Hope experience and the constant opportunities to speak in front of a big audience at Morning Assembly helped her overcome her shyness. Since then, she has developed and grown into a confident young adult. We are grateful to Clairbourn for helping her blossom into the person she is today.” Vicky is now attending USC majoring in communications and is a writer for the USC Daily Trojan.

In 2019, Bhart’s younger child, Laksh, started Clairbourn in JPK. Even during the pandemic, Laksh continued to thrive academically and developmentally. Bhart credits Laksh’s love for learning to Clairbourn and is grateful he is engaged and motivated. Bhart and his wife Diana love to support the school by volunteering at various events. They have been known to stop by the Book Fair on the last day and buy whatever was left!

Born in Nigeria, Bhart relocated to California during his youth. He graduated from Cal Poly Pomona and has extensive experience in the general merchandise industry and information technology. He runs a textile company and regularly donates his merchandise to Clairbourn.
