Milton Academy

Milton, Massachusetts, USA
Co-Ed, No Religious Affiliation

view map request catalog

Milton Academy is an independent college preparatory K-12 school, boarding and day in grades 9-12. Now in its third century, Milton develops confident, creative and independent thinkers. In an intimate, friendly setting, dedicated faculty give students the structure to learn and the support to take risks. Milton faculty surround students with opportunities for intellectual and personal growth—in and out of class. Inspired by their teachers and classmates, Milton students probe new areas of interest and maximize their strengths.

Located eight miles south of Boston, Milton’s 130-acre campus combines traditional brick and ivy buildings with cutting edge facilities—in science and performing arts. At Milton, it’s cool to be smart. Supported by teachers and classmates, students seek to meet the highest standards—in performance, athletics, the arts, leadership activity, intellectual exploration and in understanding our world. Trying new things is part of our culture. Students graduate with a clear sense of themselves and their world. Extraordinarily well prepared, Milton alumni put their skills to work at the most competitive colleges.

Summary: Milton’s environment is intellectually charged. The wide world of academic opportunity here engages students in a program of the highest quality. Students develop competence in the core subjects and feed intellectual passion through electives and independent studies. As they progress, students learn to express themselves orally and in writing. They develop analytical skills and the confidence to defend their opinions. They learn to be independent, to take initiative, to organize, and to manage their time. Preparing students not just for college, but for a future we can’t predict, for careers that perhaps don’t yet exist, we work to develop critical thinking and creativity, but also adaptability, resilience, self-awareness, empathy and courage.

Summary: As members of Milton’s century-old boarding program, a diverse group of students from 31 states/territories and 25 countries live in eight single-sex residential “houses” that are family-style and intimate. Lots of fun is had, and lifelong friendships are formed in Milton’s houses, rich with tradition and personality.

Students live with seasoned faculty “parents” in eight, single-sex residential houses of varying sizes (no larger than 48 students). Milton houses include all four classes: living with older and younger “siblings” ensures role models, support, a sense of affection and belonging. Students enjoy “sit down” dinners with faculty and their families three times each week. House heads set a stable, nurturing tone, and students’ faculty advisors live in or are affiliated with the house. Students say they gain “responsibility, independence, confidence, and extraordinary friendships with people their own age as well as adults.”

Summary: At Milton, you do not have to choose whether you want to be an intellectual, a musician, an athlete, a performer or an artist. You can be all of these; one of the best things about Milton is that there is no limit to the way you define your identity.

Top-notch athletics are a Milton tradition. Milton is a member of the Independent School League (ISL). Interscholastic teams (15 each for boys and girls at numerous levels) compete against Andover, Groton, St. Paul’s, and Noble & Greenough, among others. The Athletic and Convocation Center, with basketball courts, an indoor track, a fitness center and an ice rink, adds to outdoor fields and courts. Intramural offerings extend opportunities for play and skill-development.

Art thrives at Milton: extraordinary facilities; talented students; faculty who are also artists and performers; a campus culture that promotes the arts. All students fulfill a one-year arts requirement. Favorite weekend activities are viewing friends’ exhibited work and watching friends perform—in the jazz combo, in one of 10 annual theatrical productions, in dance, in one of eight singing groups, at speech team galas.

Summary: Milton prepares young people to seek meaningful lifetime success, and that principle drives our college counseling program. We believe that the college process can help our students grow, both emotionally and socially. Through this process, we can help our students develop the tools to take on the world with gusto, resourcefulness, and joy.

Milton’s powerful, experienced, and highly collaborative team of professionals develop relationships with students and help them manage the core work as thoroughly and as thoughtfully as possible.

- Our program involves a lot of one-on-one conversation, humor wherever possible, and timely reminders about what is really important in students’ lives.

- Through continuous and accurate communication, we help ground students so that they can be their best, most dynamic selves and do their best work.

- In that scenario, creativity has a chance to thrive.

- Students can develop applications that capture their own power.
