Menlo has been the perfect place for my little bookworms to flourish. Here intelligence and good grades are something to be proud of. The other children encourage and help their friends in classes. If your gifted kiddo feels ridiculed or just alone in their current school setting this is the place for them. I will always be thankful for Menlo.

Not at all considering sending my child elsewhere. This school does a great job keeping my child motivated to learn. At past schools, my kids were not seen as a priority as they tested well. Therefore, they were often unchallenged and bored. This is not the care at Menlo, the director and staff are very responsive to our questions.

MPA has been an excellent school for my two children. I appreciate the deeper dive into subject matter and frequent field trips to involve the material. As I explore high school options, I have become aware of the excellent reputation Menlo grads have at top schools throughout the greater community, which provides an objective confirmation of the school's outstanding education.

Menlo has been the answer to many of prayers. We struggled in traditional school Menlo does a wonderful job at bringing excitement and joy to learning with hands on learning.
