The Harkness table promotes a rich learning experience through dialogue, debate and discussion. This table is an amazing way to engage in an intellectual conversation because you can see everyone around you. I build strong relationships with my classmates as we share our own ideas and opinions. This learning style is a great way to connect with not only our classmates but our teachers as well. I like how our teachers sit around the table with us and participate in the discussion. The intimacy of the table allows me to feel like all of my ideas are heard. The Harkness table is used mostly in English, history, and science classrooms to increase our opportunities to learn from our peers. When we are around the Harkness table, we do not need to raise our hands to share a new idea but instead we can agree, rebut, or question another student in a conversational manner. I am so grateful to have this learning experience because Milton Academy students are so insightful and inquisitive in their perspectives about the world.
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.
