Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
In mind, body and spirit, our mission is to prepare students to succeed. Menaul School develops excellence, confidence and integrity and provides the foundation for life-long learning and ethical leadership.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Over 50 percent of our students receive need-based financial aid. Much of this aid is generously provided by the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s Christmas Joy Offering, but we also rely on and seek aid from Presbyterian congregations, businesses, alumni and individuals.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Menaul is beating the socio-economic and racial limitations that plague school systems across the country, and we've been doing it for over 118 years. Economically disadvantaged students have been thriving at Menaul for generations with Menaul's creative, progressive and excellent college preparatory academic program.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Menaul School has graduated more than 3,000 students. Graduates excel in all walks of life, serving their communities throughout the world. Since the first graduating class in 1906, more than 90% of Menaul graduates have gone on to higher education. In more recent years, that number has increased to 99%.
