The Yehudi Menuhin School is a specialist music school in Surrey, England. It was founded in 1963 by the famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin.

It educates about 60 boys and girls between the ages of 8-18, who all play at least one musical instrument (stringed instrument or piano) to an exceptionally high level. Academic subjects are also studied, but the emphasis is on developing performance skills in classical music.
