Often cited by both faculty and students as the litmus test for word or action, \u201cDare to be true\u201d not only states a core value, it describes Milton\u2019s culture. Milton believes that a vital and effective community is built on individuals\u2019 self-confidence and shared respect. We do our best to foster an atmosphere of intellectual freedom, and we encourage initiative and the open exchange of ideas. Doing so requires considerable energy. Teaching and learning at Milton Academy are active processes, supported by the recognition of the intelligence, talents and potential of each member of the School. Grounded in values, deeply respectful of diversity, and fully aware of the issues of their time, Milton students graduate fully prepared to continue working to meet their own high expectations in the many venues which follow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>&#8220;From Milton, many things have stayed with me \u2014 a sense of the importance of social justice, my interest in things that are complex and interdisciplinary, the need to challenge myself and commit to a high standard of work.
