We are independent educational consultants in Menlo School admissions.

The Menlo School is one of the leading private schools in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. Given its small size, Menlo is surprisingly strong in a wide variety of programs and is well-known for its unique approach to producing young men and women who are confident leaders. There are many rules for applying to the Menlo School. As independent educational consultants, we have successfully worked with hundreds of Menlo families. We would love to help you navigate the process!
