I focus on how we can more intentionally promote students’ becoming confident, self-aware, responsible and resilient young people.

A Message from Upper School Principal David Ball
We invite you to experience Milton for yourself—please join us for Parents’ Weekend on October 17 and 18.
We hope that you will spend as much time as possible with us that weekend: visiting classes (always a highlight), cheering on teams, conferring with teachers, and meeting fellow parents. Click here to download a schedule of the weekend’s events, just a few of which I would like to note specially.

Performing arts faculty member Eleza Moyer, the play’s director, says although the story addresses serious issues, the light-hearted moments are many.
