Menaul School is an independent faith-based 6-12th grade day and boarding school giving students a diverse, personal, intellectual and cultural education. The mission of Menaul School is to prepare students to succeed in mind, body, and spirit.The history of the school dates back to 1896, when the Reverend James Menaul (a Presbyterian minister) sought and received Presbyterian funding for it. This year, 2013-2014, there are 172 students; 134 of them are from the United States and 38 are from international countries such as Nigeria, China, and Korea. Over 90% of the students go on to higher education. The support for this school by the Presbytery and its churches, including ours, helps to keep the school operational.
Anita and I had the privilege of visiting the school while on vacation in 2011. The staff was very courteous as they showed us around and thankful for our church’s support. If you are ever in Albuquerque, New Mexico, stop in. You will enjoy the visit.
