As of the 2017-2018 school year, Menlo replaced Knight School with M-Term, which focuses on educating freshmen and sophomores about the communities around the school and the issues they face. Juniors choose a selection of interdisciplinary classes not offered during the school year. Seniors either work as a TA for one of the junior's classes, or work on their senior projects. Senior projects allow seniors to explore an academic focus of their own choosing, which culminates with a public presentation of their findings. M-Term is currently a week long program required for graduation in May after finals have finished, but Menlo may extend the duration to 2 or 3 weeks in the future.
