Arthur Menzies was educated at the University of Toronto and Harvard. In 1940 Menzies withdrew from doctoral studies in Far Eastern History and Chinese at Harvard University to join the Department of External Affairs. In 1943 Menzies married Sheila Isabel Halliday Skelton, daughter of Isabel and O.D. Skelton (Under Secretary of State for External Affairs from 1925-1941).
