As the only Jewish day school in the nation’s capital, MILTON students benefit from the school’s urban location and the expertise of our community of public servants, scientists, business leaders, academics, artists, and other professionals who enrich the academic experience of our students.
MILTON is a vibrant, pluralistic Jewish day school where students, families, and faculty mirror the diversity of Jewish practice in the community. Our warm, close-knit community shares in each other’s lives, learns together, participates in a variety of family and adult programs, and contributes to local and global communities through civic engagement.
The school serves 480 students in Pre-K – Grade 8 at our Kay and Robert Schattner Center North and South Campuses.

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break! Before the break, Pre-K spearheaded a Thanksgiving food drive for the Yad Yehuda Kosher Food Pantry.

This morning we welcomed former hostages Aviva and Keith Siegel, who spoke to the Middle School about their experiences and answered questions. We were moved by their messages of family and resilience. As Aviva said, "Use your words. Be proud of your teachers, your school, and your parents. Be proud of yourselves."
