Menlo Park Academy is Ohio’s only community public school exclusively serving gifted children in grades K-8. Menlo Park Academy is a tuition-free public school that develops the potential of gifted children through an exemplary program, rewarding experiences, and nurturing the whole child. Menlo Park is consistently ranked as one of Ohio’s top schools by the Ohio Department of Education and among Niche.com’s top charter schools, and among the top ten public schools in Ohio, in large part because of its Core and Encore curriculum.
At Menlo Park Academy, we understand the unique qualities and struggles of gifted children. Our school is designed to meet the asynchronous development of children’s emotional, physical, and academic abilities while fostering a sense of belonging missing in traditional classrooms where they may be “the smart kid” or the “underachiever” or the “questioner.”
Menlo consistently provides social-emotional learning and support programs, understands the common attributes of asynchronous development (intellectual growth exceeding their age/emotional maturity), and engages children in fostering meaningful friendships as they find acceptance.

Throughout the year, our Admissions Team offers prospective families free Gifted Testing, Open Houses, School Tours, and Shadow Visits to give you and your student a glimpse into a day as a Menlo Wizard.
