Co-Ed Boarding School in Boston MA area
Milton Academy, Boston:
Located in Milton MA, 8 miles south of Boston, Milton Academy is a private, preparatory, co-educational boarding school offering a rigorous Grade 9 - 12 curriculum.
Why Choose to Attend Boarding School?
Research from The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) suggests that contemporary boarding schools serve a diverse body of motivated and well-rounded students who study and live in supportive, inclusive academic communities where they learn about independence and responsibility in the classroom and beyond.
The Milton Day:
Days at Milton are full. Classes are exciting and the discussion that starts around the Harkness table continues out of class. The occasional free period during the class day is a great time to talk with friends, get work done, grab a snack in the Schwarz Student Center or check on a project. After classes, the wide world of Milton’s activities and organizations opens up.
Students may have an athletic practice every day until dinner, or they may get involved in theatre tech or a publication or community service. Three times each week students have “sit-down”—short-hand for dinner with their housemates and house faculty. Day students come to dinner, too, when they’re staying on campus for activities.
The fast-paced Milton day helps you learn to manage your time, follow through on responsibilities, get work done, and have fun with friends. There are so many opportunities to get involved; you don’t want to miss out.

Student Testimonials:
"Milton classes are taught in a manner that really challenges students, both by teachers and by other students. The round table discussion style in which classes are taught really force students to think and take part in intelligent conversations that help enlighten students and enable them to grow intellectually."
- David Koretz
"Teachers are what make Milton special for a lot of students."
- Rebby Bliss
"When day students and boarders, especially those who don't really interact with the other group socially enough, meet and hang out and go to each other's "homes," they learn a lot about the school that they had until then not seen fully. Its a kind of connection that surprises you every time and is one of the more meaningful aspects at Milton and that is not to say that the two communities are perfectly synergetic but its cool when you spark a friendship."
