Beyond the Classroom

At MILTON, excellent education extends beyond the classroom.

Students engage in enriching experiences – on the field, in the studio, on stage, in the lab, and in the community.

We empower students to pursue their passions, find their voice, and embrace their boundless potential.

Through programs in art, athletics, music, technology, linguistics, STEM, and service learning, our students explore interests, develop unique capabilities, and find joy and success in all aspects of the MILTON experience. Visit our School Life tab to learn more about our extracurricular offerings.

Community & Civic Engagement

A close-knit community and a commitment to civic engagement are hallmarks of the school. We have an active body of current parents, alumni families, community members, and friends who enrich the academic experience of our students with their expertise, learn with us through a variety of programs, share in each other’s lives, and partner with the school to contribute to the local and global community.

MILTON community members have spoken on topics including the protection of endangered animals, foreign aid, global assistance, international trade, the use of diplomacy on the world stage, and Supreme Court cases. Students have worked with professionals in documentary filmmaking, visual arts, theater, journalism, and publishing. Our dynamic program fuels students’ curiosity, broadens their perspective, and fosters in them a deep sense of empathy and civic engagement.

As a result, MILTON students are empowered citizens who engage with the world locally and globally.

A Jewish School with a Global Outlook

MILTON is a pluralistic Jewish day school by design, where students, families, and faculty mirror the diversity of Jewish practice in the community. A plurality of community voices and opinions, beliefs, backgrounds, and experiences enrich and inspire deeper unity.

We share a commitment to Jewish values and global citizenship.

Chesed (loving-kindness) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) are woven into the fabric of the MILTON experience, in the classroom and in our school community. Students apply Design Thinking to address real-world problems, build connections with near and far communities, and engage in civic life.

Families and faculty model Jewish values and meaningful engagement for our students and prepare them to be informed, respectful, and influential citizens.

The Capital is our classroom.

Washington, DC presents limitless opportunities for immersive learning experiences.

MILTON students visit the Capitol, the White House, perform at embassies, and learn from educators at the Smithsonian museums. Our students explore federal sites, examine art at national galleries, and learn about the unique challenges in our federal parks.
