At home in the world.

Menlo School’s Global Programs aspire to broaden and deepen students’ knowledge, curiosity, and engagement with ever-wider communities and cultures.

We offer a variety of programs including Global Scholars, Global Online Academy, collaborative forums with partner schools, and domestic and global travel. Each provides students with the experience and guidance they need to develop global competency and citizenship in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world.
