The Mountain School is a Milton Academy program that draws students from the Academy as well as from a number of other independent schools. The academic curriculum offered coincides with many of the courses offered at Milton. Typically, between eight and ten Milton Academy students are selected by the Mountain School to participate in the program.

Milton Academy gives graduation credit for CityTerm courses.
