Why move to a K–8 program at Milton Academy?

• To ensure curriculum continuity, excellent preparation for the Upper School and smoother transitions from grade to grade;
  
  
• To strengthen faculty awareness of and support for the growth of each child, by implementing a nine-year continuum of faculty-child relationships;
  
  
• To respect diverse developmental needs while preserving the experience of childhood;
  
  
• To maximize opportunities for student leadership and curriculum connections;
  
  
• To achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness from the resources committed to the Lower and Middle Schools.
