Summary: 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.
