The Mountain School is a one-semester opportunity for Class II students to continue their academic program while living on a working farm in Vershire, Vermont. The social experience of a closely knit boarding community, combined with the school's spectacular setting and superb faculty, ensure a strong experience for all who attend. The Mountain School is a Milton Academy program that draws students from the Academy as well as independent schools nationwide. The academic curriculum offered coincides with many of the courses offered at Milton. Typically, between eight and 10 Milton Academy students are selected by the Mountain School to participate in the program. Interested Class III students should submit an application, for either 2005-2006 semester, to the Deans’ Office by Monday, February 7, 2005.

From its residential base in Dobbs Ferry, a 40-minute train ride north of Grand Central Station, CityTerm uses New York City as its classroom and laboratory. CityTerm’s curriculum allows students to meet many of Milton’s course requirements while at the same time providing an interdisciplinary learning experience that takes advantage of the school’s setting. Milton Academy gives graduation credit for CityTerm courses. Interested Class III students should submit an application, for either 2005-2006 semester, to the Deans’ Office by Monday, February 7, 2005.

The Maine Coast Semester, “Chewonki,” is a one-semester opportunity for Class II students to continue their academic program while living on a 400-acre peninsula on the Maine coast. The campus, surrounded by a tidal estuary, provides a beautiful setting of pasture and pine forest in which to explore the relationship between people and the environment. Milton Academy gives graduation credit for Chewonki courses. The academic curriculum offered by Chewonki coincides with many of the courses offered at Milton Academy. Interested Class III students should submit an application, for either 2005-2006 semester, to the Deans’ Office by Monday, February 7, 2005.

Brochures will be available at each information session. To learn more about these programs or pick up materials, please contact Special Assistant to the Head of School, John Warren, at his office in Wigg Hall.
