The rich diversity of students, coming as they do from 28 states and 17 countries, and their natural warmth strike the first-time visitor to Milton. More than likely, passing students discuss an issue raised in class, a reaction to a question, an opinion on some piece of writing. Milton students are excited by learning.
Students are motivated participants in the world of ideas, concepts and values.
Their partners and mentors are dedicated faculty members who connect passion for their discipline with love of teaching. Both gather around tables in small classes, in laboratories and studios, and challenge one another to reach deeper and farther. The vitality in the classrooms at Milton is extraordinary, and it remains the standard against which students measure other educational settings, long after they have left Milton. The discovery of how exciting learning can be is quickly followed by discovery of the ways to become involved at Milton. Milton students are activists and self-starters, and the climate here gives them both the freedom and the inspiration to pursue their interests, to reach new personal goals, and to develop a great appreciation for the contribution of others.
