KnightLine: A Blueprint for Belonging

In this KnightLine, learn how the latest EDIB Strategic Plan aims to deepen Menlo’s culture of belonging, from student support systems and identity-affirming classrooms to cross-departmental collaboration and authentic parent engagement.

Upper School

In grades 9-12, students are immersed in a stimulating academic environment and encouraged to try new things, make new friends, and discover or nourish a passion through our thoughtfully designed curriculum and enthusiastically supported co-curricular opportunities.

Middle School

Our 6-8 curriculum, centered around our Habits of Heart and Mind and Habits of Learning, is designed to help students realize their potential and develop an excitement for learning through their relationships with bright, dynamic teachers who inspire, challenge, and nurture.

Belonging

Menlo is committed to nurturing a culture of kindness, trust, and belonging where all feel welcomed, included, and valued. We strive to cultivate a school community where every student can flourish as a full participant in the life of the School and leave a lasting legacy as their best and authentic self. A deep sense of belonging, grounded in our shared values of kindness, curiosity, empathy, and respect, is at the heart of this endeavor.
