Except where noted, events are optional and attendance is not required to complete your application or to be admitted to Menlo. Registration is always required and space is limited. Additional admissions events and school events open to prospective families will be shared via our newsletter throughout the season. To register for any event, login to your Ravenna account and go to your application checklist.
