Core offering

Menaul School is a faith-informed, nonprofit 501(c)(3) private day and boarding school for grades 6-12 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, delivering a college-preparatory "World Smart" curriculum in mind, body, and spirit. Core offerings include Middle School and Upper School academics with a weighted 4.0 grading scale and 17 AP courses, Domestic and International boarding programs (SEVP-certified for F-1 visas), religion and philosophy, visual and performing arts, learning support with free diagnostic evaluations, college guidance, athletics, summer camps, and the on-campus Menaul Historical Library and Research Center.

Product overview

Menaul School offers a unified private day-and-boarding school experience for grades 6-12 organized around a single World Smart educational philosophy, rather than a multi-product SaaS platform. The portfolio comprises core academic programs (Middle School Academics and Upper School Academics) that share a weighted 4.0 grading scale and 17 AP course offerings, supported by cross-cutting programs: Religion and Philosophy (Covenant, World Religions, Ethics, Credo), Visual and Performing Arts, Learning Support, College Guidance, Service Learning and Mission Days, and the Menaul Historical Library and Research Center. Residential pathways include the Domestic Boarding Program and International Student Program (SEVP-certified, F-1 visa issuance), which together bring students from over 28 countries. The athletic and extracurricular layer includes the signature Fencing Program (in partnership with Duke City Fencing), the broader Athletics Program (NMAA / APIAL competition), and Clubs and Activities (Chess, Model UN, Science Olympiad, Pep Band, English EXPO, Theater, Yearbook, and the Petroglyph Review student magazine). Year-round engagement is delivered through Panther Camp and Adventure & Leadership Camp summer programs, and the school operates an in-house Food Services program participating in the National School Lunch Program. Admissions, financial aid, tuition management, advancement, and athletic operations are powered by integrated third-party platforms including RenWeb/FACTS, Clarity, DonorPerfect, TouchPros, Canvas, Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, and MaxPreps, with scholarships awarded via the Corio Aspiring Innovators Scholarship Program and multi-tier Merit-Based Scholarship Program.

• The Academy for Technology and the Classics: Santa Fe-based public charter serving grades 7-12 with a rigorous college-preparatory focus. Comparable to Menaul in mission and New Mexico regional market, and an alternative for families weighing private vs. charter college-prep options.
• Sandia Preparatory School: Albuquerque-based private day school serving grades 6-12. Comparable in scale, college-preparatory mission, and local market positioning, providing direct competition for domestic day student enrollment in the same metro area.
• Albuquerque Academy: Direct local competitor in Albuquerque serving grades 6-12 as a private college-preparatory day school. Board trustee Richard Adam served 43 years at Albuquerque Academy, underscoring how directly comparable the two schools are in market, mission, and demographics.
• Wyoming Seminary: Northeastern US private college-preparatory day and boarding school with Presbyterian heritage. Comparable boarding structure, faith-informed academic tradition, and small-school individualized instruction model.
• Cushing Academy: Massachusetts private college-preparatory boarding school with significant international student population and small size. Comparable boarding structure, SEVP-certified international recruitment, and small-class individualized education model.
• Northland College (Wisconsin): Small private college-preparatory boarding school actively recruiting international students.
