Spotlight on Menlo Park AcademyMenlo Park Academy is the only Ohio charter school exclusively serving gifted students in grades K-6 in a tuition-free environment. The school was created to address the unique and special needs of this underserved population of children. In August 2009, the academy moved into the school building at St. Mel Catholic Church, 14440 Triskett Avenue, which closed its parochial school at the end of the 2009 school year. “Father Fedor became our patron saint,” said School Director Dr. Richard Hronek. The pastor of St. Mel Church, Father Fedor aided Menlo Park Academy in gaining a lease from the diocese when he learned the academy was searching for a single site to unite its Lorain and Westlake locations. Students who meet the Ohio standards for gifted are welcome from any school district in Ohio, with bus service currently being provided by Avon, Avon Lake, Olmsted Falls/Twp, Sheffield/Sheffield Lake, North Ridgeville, and Westlake. |
For students and their families, the academy offers: * Small Class Sizes A new playground will be built at the school by volunteers on February 6th. Friends and neighbors are welcome to join in the effort. Click here to sign up. For more information about Menlo Park Academy, please visit their website here, or call 440-925-6365. |
