The School

An Independent, Coeducational, College-Preparatory School
Grades 6-12

Established in 1915, Menlo School offers a rigorous, engaging academic curriculum complemented by outstanding fine arts and athletics programs. Through the support of dedicated and talented teachers, students are encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Classes are small (16 to 18) across grade levels, and students participate in hands-on, active learning. Menlo School values open communication with parents and strives to create an environment where both students and families feel connected to the school community.

As a demanding college preparatory school that emphasizes excellence not only in academics, but also in the arts and in athletics, Menlo School seeks to attract and enroll motivated students who are secure in their academic skills and who will contribute to the rich fabric of the school community.

At the heart of the program is an extraordinarily talented and dedicated group of teachers who are both passionate about learning and deeply committed to the success of every child in the school.
