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.

The school serves 480 students in Pre-K – Grade 8 at our Kay and Robert Schattner Center North and South Campuses.

Mazel tov to 27 of our Class of 2025 alumni on earning the Global Seal of Biliteracy in Hebrew!
The Global Seal of Biliteracy is an internationally recognized credential honoring students who have demonstrated high levels of proficiency in Hebrew across reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It is a remarkable accomplishment and our students achieved it alongside many students in their final year of high school.
Our students earned this distinction through their dedication and hard work in Hebrew class during their years at MILTON. The Hebrew program provided them with authentic opportunities to develop and demonstrate real-world Hebrew proficiency. We are very proud of all of our Hebrew learners!
