Today was the first day back from spring vacation! Senior are now entering their last full month of classes until we begin Senior Projects in the beginning of May. The project period extends for the last month of the school year and is an opportunity for seniors to pursue an interest outside of the traditional classroom environment. Because projects are chosen, designed, and completed by students, the last month of Milton Academy is completely what seniors make of the experience. Seniors can either keep all their classes, do one or two projects, or combine both classes and projects in any way they want. Every year, seniors partake in a huge variety of projects, but some popular themes are learning new hobbies such as yoga, kickboxing, filmmaking, writing poetry or stories, and interning at hospitals or schools. For my project, my friend and I are learning American Sign Language. We’ve already started taking some classes afterschool so that we will not get stuck on the basics during the actual project. Most of all, I am looking forward to joining Deaf community events and volunteering at local Deaf schools next month. I cannot believe that our time at Milton is already coming to an end, but I could not think of a better way of ending the year than with Senior Projects!
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.
