Who's Who

About Menlo School College Counseling

The Program

Menlo's college counseling program helps parents and students explore college selection and navigate the application process in its entirety. The team seeks to help each student find "matches" — that is, colleges and programs that best serve the needs of the student. The team’s philosophy stresses both individualized, one-on-one counseling and keeping each student at the center of the process, with both the family and counselor serving as important, but peripheral forces. The College Counseling Handbook, updated annually, serves as a reference guide and resource.

The College Counseling Office

The College Counseling Office provides support for every student: college counselors write detailed letters of recommendation, answer questions, host college representatives, visit colleges, lead workshops, give presentations, assist with financial aid, and help with course selection as academic counselors. College catalogues, financial aid information, and standardized test registration/preparation booklets are available in the College Counseling Resource Center.
