Being from NYC, I hardly get the opportunity to reflect in silence and to appreciate the sights and sounds of the environment. As a junior, there are opportunities to go to semester or year-long programs. For three months, I attended the Chewonki Semester School in Wiscasset, Maine. In addition to making 40 new friends and learning about sustainability and the environment, I learned to appreciate simple everyday moments such as spotting seemingly phantasmal deer to terrifying raccoons. For three months, I walked through the same woods every afternoon and occasionally brought my camera along. No two days were alike and I saw summer fade to fall and fall turn to winter. Life, like seasons, is a progression of changes. Subtle or sweet, changes are imminent as no one can stop time. I now appreciate the everyday simplicities as much as the complexities that life brings.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
