What’s Happening at Milton?

Campus is Bustling Once Again

School is back in session, and we are excited to welcome new and returning families to Milton. Before orientation, the Office of Advancement hosted welcome receptions for new Middle and Lower School parents, and we were thrilled to see many familiar faces from our alumni community. Families interested in learning more about Milton Academy Lower and Middle School admissions are welcome to attend the Lower School Open House on November 5 and the Middle School Open House on October 29. We hope to see many alumni families there! Contact the Lower and Middle School Admissions Office at 617-898-2509 for more details.

Wigglesworth Renovations

Immediately following Reunion, Wigglesworth Hall was vacated and emptied to make way for renovations. Anticipated to be complete in the fall of 2023, the reimagined space will become home to Cox Library.

Forbes Reimagined

Boarding students returned to campus with a new dormitory option. In March, the Board of Trustees endorsed the renovation of Forbes House into two distinct dormitories. Forbes House remains a boys dorm in the western portion of the building, and Academy House serves as an all-gender dorm in the eastern portion of the building. Each dorm has their own distinct access, common areas, and kitchen. Academy House aligns with Milton’s commitment to equity and inclusion.

Alumni News

Alumni Restore Milton’s Harkness Tables

Last week, Austin Vyas ’17 delivered a beautifully restored Harkness table to Milton just in time for the start of school. This restoration was part of a large, four-table project that Vyas took on as an homage to his career at Milton. Vyas shares, “As a 2017 graduate, I certainly benefited from the Harkness style of learning. I thought it very important to get back to that style of learning after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic had passed.” Vyas also had the help of his brother, Ryan Vyas ’19, in repairing the tables, and Evan Scales ’17 in documenting the project. You can see more photos of Vyas’ restoration work on his company Instagram page, @avyascarpentry.
