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. 

 

Parents, guardians and prospective students are invited to tour the beautiful M-A campus.  Families will get an up-close look at campus and hear about student life from our leadership students, who will serve as your guides.   If available, tours may visit classes in session.  The walking campus tour is one hour and is on Wednesday afternoons during 5th period (1:00-2:00).    Click here to sign up for a campus tour.

With its proximity to the heart of Silicon Valley and Stanford University, M-A frequently receives requests from families who are relocating or on special assignment. We will be happy to provide families with a folder of school information. This will include: the school profile, school statistics, four-year trend of college destinations, sample education plan, and course offerings. It will also include information about our STEM classes, Visual and Performing Arts, Career Technical Education, Clubs, and Athletics. To arrange to receive a folder, please contact Ofa Taimani IVP Secretary.
