9th Grade Seminar

Biography

To set the stage for a transformative and well-rounded high school experience, all 9th graders take part in a yearlong seminar rotation designed to spark academic growth, nurture emotional well-being, and strengthen social connection, while offering an engaging introduction to Menlo’s community, culture, and values. Students rotate through ten thoughtfully designed courses that explore relevant topics like AI and digital literacy; provide a window into some of Menlo’s signature programs, such as Whitaker Lab and Community Engagement; and weave purpose, wellness, and belonging into the foundation of their high school experience.
