Menlo School embraces student, parent, and faculty affinity spaces. 

As a school, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where safe and supportive spaces are intentionally created and nurtured. Grounded in respect for self-identified characteristics—such as race, religion, country of origin, nationality, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, etc.—these spaces empower every member of our community to bring their full, authentic selves to campus with confidence and joy.
