About our School:
Milton Academy is an independent college preparatory K–12 school, boarding and day
in grades 9–12, located eight miles south of Boston.
Milton Academy cultivates in our students a passion for learning and a respect for
others. Milton students grow by developing their own identities, learning from and
listening to the lived experiences of others, and living and working among peers whose
differences they accept with respect and care.
In our ongoing work to create the anti-racist environment at Milton—free from bias,
injustice, and bigotry—that our values demand, we encourage each other to explore our
own histories and identities, be open to learning from others, seek to understand the
world around us with a critical lens, and strive to practice ways of interacting with one
another that ensures all students and adults feel safe, supported, and able to express
all aspects of their identities without judgment or hate.
In our dynamic community, we honor that Milton students challenge each other to build
a foundation upon which to leave Milton and partner with their future communities to
help create a more just world and in those spaces that are dissonant to our values, to
have the courage to speak up and live by our motto, “Dare to be true.”
