While the end of October may mean fall foliage and Halloween to many, to Milton Academy students the end of October means one thing: Parents’ Weekend. One of my favorite weekends of the year, Parents’ Weekend gives parents special insights to everyday life as a Milton student. On the Friday of Parents’ Weekend, my mom accompanied me to each of my classes, observing the lectures and even solving some calculus problems. After my school day ended, we ventured down to the ACC for an excellent lunch with friends and their parents. Parents also have the opportunity to meet with teachers and advisors and hear about all the great work we do. I enjoy this weekend so much because I can reunite with my parents after two months apart, introduce them to new friends, and show them everything Milton offers. These are some of the most vibrant days on the school calendar, as hundreds of Milton parents happily spend the day with their beloved children.
The best part about Parents’ Weekend is the amount of homework we receive for the weekend—none! Milton teachers give us the opportunity to relax, rest, and spend quality time with our families, while rejuvenating our brains halfway through the semester. With no schoolwork and Monday off, I went home to visit my family and friends. Parents’ Weekend leaves us fresh and ready to go for the remainder of the semester.
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.
