Established in 1915, Menlo School offers a rigorous, engaging academic curriculum complemented by outstanding fine arts and athletics programs. Through the support of dedicated and talented teachers, students are encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Classes are small (16 to 18) across grade levels, and students participate in hands-on, active learning. Menlo School values open communication with parents and strives to create an environment where both students and families feel connected to the school community.
Menlo School, one of the nation's leading independent college-preparatory schools, has been the home of Music@Menlo since its inaugural season in 2003. The Menlo School campus is host to many of the festival concerts, the Encounter series, and Music@Menlo's Chamber Music Institute. The school's classrooms offer an ideal setting for rehearsals and coachings, while Martin Family Hall and Stent Family Hall's Spieker Ballroom provide intimate settings for music as well as for Café Conversations, master classes, and other Institute activities.
The Spieker Center for the Performing Arts is the new home of Music@Menlo, situated at the heart of the Menlo School campus. The hall has 384 seats, all with clear sightlines and close acoustic proximity to the stage. It also features meticulous acoustic design to meet the most rigorous industry standards, bright and spacious lobby space, and state-of-the-art recording and technical facilities.
