Living at Milton

You will find your home away from home.

The support and care that Milton students feel extends well beyond the classroom. Students experience a nurturing and important balance between the head and heart, living and learning among friends and classmates from across the country and around the world, supported by caring and devoted faculty members (with their spouses, children, and pets!), to create a true home. Relationships formed in this rich environment run deep, and often last a lifetime. Milton’s is a thriving, 24-hour campus, with the resources students need for studies, support and fun.

Residential Life

A Family at School

As members of Milton’s century-old boarding program, a diverse group of students from 26 states and 31 countries live in nine residential “houses”, including an all gender house, that are family-style and intimate. Lots of fun is had, and lifelong friendships are formed in Milton’s houses, rich with tradition and personality.

Why You’ll Love Living at Milton

• Family style is best: Milton houses include all four grades, and students live in the same house for their entire time at Milton.
• Faculty families—complete with children and pets—are connected to every house. Each house faculty member serves as academic and personal advisor to six students in the house.
• Living with older and younger house “siblings” gives students role models, personal and academic support, and a sense of belonging.
• New student orientation helps students get to know each other and appreciate cultural differences. It also offers guidance on time management, technology and campus resources.
• The student to residential faculty ratio is 4:1. Students have 24-hour access to guidance from adults they know from the classroom, sports and the arts.
• Rooming options include singles, doubles and triples.
• Houses meet for family-style dinner with the faculty three nights a week. Proctored study halls are held for underclassmen on weeknights.
• Each house has their own unique traditions like caroling, pumpkin carving with a sibling house, scavenger hunting in Boston, themed dress up bowling, playing in ping-pong tournaments, or celebrating birthdays.
