New Families are encouraged to attend one of MPA’s New Family Orientation sessions to meet fellow incoming families, enjoy food and drinks with the community, and gather new information about the school.
School administrators will share information related to our social-emotional services, volunteering opportunities, accessing student grades, and the Family Ambassador Program.
Our next New Family Orientation will be on Tuesday, July 26, from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM. Families received an evite with additional details through email.
Our Enrollment and Advancement Team will pair your incoming family with a current Menlo Park Academy family for your first year in our Family Ambassador Program. These ambassador families will reach out to you to share information and help answer questions throughout the year as you become acclimated.
The School will provide the necessary textbooks and/or electronic textbooks free of charge for its students. To provide additional supplemental materials related to technology, curricular activities, elective classes, and school-sponsored field trips, we require each student to pay a fee of $625 per year.

Learn MoreEach morning and afternoon, hundreds of vehicles arrive at Menlo Park Academy to drop off or pick up students in a process known as “Car Line.” An effective car line helps ensure that students are dropped off and picked up as safely and efficiently as possible. Although waiting in car line may sometimes feel long, it remains the safest and most efficient way to dismiss students in a commuter school like ours.
