About Milton Academy

The academy covers an area of 125mu. It is only 8 miles from South Boston, where students and teachers can enjoy the cultural resources in both Boston and Cambridge. It is only a few minutes’ journey to the Great Blue Mountain World Heritage Area, where the 6000 acres of forest zone is an optimal area for climbing and skiing. Its motto is “Dare to be true”, which is not only represents the core values of the Academy, but also the culture of Milton.
