Milton’s programming for new students begins on Tuesday, September 8. Opening of school activities are designed to help students get to know one another, get to know the adults on campus, and help them feel comfortable at School. We know that while new students are surrounded by welcoming faces, they are making their way over unfamiliar terrain.
Our programs in the opening days are geared toward helping everyone get acclimated—to feel good about who and where they are. These programs are designed by in-house experts—our own faculty and students—who know what being new to Milton feels like and what experiences will be helpful in those first few days.

At the Opening of School, where can I…
…find the opening of school schedule?
The deans’ office has created an online calendar listing events specific to the opening of school. This calendar displays all events happening in those first few days and allows you to filter the information to only the events you need to see. View this opening of school calendar. Your opening of school schedule will also be available on your myMilton page.
…get my class schedule?
Class schedules can be accessed from your child’s myMilton page the week before registration, pending the School’s receipt of all required forms. If your child has problems viewing or printing his or her schedule from myMilton during registration, please contact the Help Desk at 617-898-1767.

Health forms should have been returned by mail over the summer. If you have not mailed them, be sure to bring your health forms with you to registration in the Schwarz Student Center. Students will not be able to attend classes or participate in athletics until the forms are on file with the Health Center.

Boarding students’ advisors usually live in, or are closely associated with, a student’s house. Students often have the same advisor throughout their Upper School experience.
