Boarding students will tell you that the boarding experience is incredibly rewarding and one reason is because each dorm has its own traditions. A home away from home, your dorm is an environment that is conducive to making incredible friends and having fun!
As the New England weather slowly transitions from summer to autumn, some of my favorite boarder traditions begin. In the dorms, the dorm monitor (a senior who works alongside the dorm parents) creates small groups called “families.” During pumpkin season, the dorm monitor invites the entire dorm to sit in “families” and carve pumpkins! Robbins House, one of the four girls’ dorms on campus, carved pumpkins last weekend. In our “families,” students cleaned the pumpkins and roasted pumpkin seeds, while others carved the pumpkins! This year, the girls went a step beyond the traditional pumpkin carving activity; they built and decorated haunted gingerbread houses!
Boarding at Milton Academy is very special, for you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in a tight-knit and inclusive community. Whether its participating in dorm events or forming new friendships, Milton creates a kind, welcoming, and enthusiastic atmosphere where living at school is special because it is a home that you share with your closest friends. The friendships that you make at Milton will be ones you will remember for life.
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.
