The objective of our shadowing program is to offer students an opportunity to experience a typical day on campus while shadowing a Menlo-Atherton freshman. These one-to-one sessions are designed for students who are exploring their high school options.  Students who are gathering information about their high school choice are encouraged to shadow.  Students who know they are going to be an M-A Bear should attend other Get to Know M-A events like 8th Grade Information Night, 8th-grade tours in the spring semester, and 8th Grade Course Selection night.  Please click here for full program details, the sign-up link,  and frequently asked questions.
