Student Life

Support, trust, and friendship.

Menlo is built on relationships.

Teachers, coaches, and advocates become mentors. Friends become chosen family. For life. These trusted bonds are the foundation from which students embark on lifelong journeys of learning and discovery.

Upper School

The Upper School student life program supports students in becoming their best selves and cultivates a kind, compassionate, inclusive, and joyful community. Student Life programming such as advocacy, class meetings, retreats, and assemblies, is built into the school day providing time for social-emotional curriculum as well as building community connections. A vibrant club program, developed and initiated by students, offers opportunities to discover new interests.
