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.
Think MILTON could be your child’s home? We would love to meet you to see if there might be an opportunity to welcome your family to ours.
On South Campus, the Sadnah, or workshop, is filled with old bottle tops, marker caps, buttons, large seashells, metal and wood scraps, solo cups, plastic tubes, clay, and clothespins—just to name a few things. Each class in Early Elementary (PK, Kindergarten, and Grade 1) visits it twice a week, working with atelierista (and MILTON parent!) […]

To observe Veterans Day and enhance their yearlong studies of WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War, Grade 8 visited Arlington National Cemetery today. They read stories of people buried in the cemetery, learned about its history, visited classmates` family members, and saw a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was a meaningful way to both mark the holiday and see the continuing impact of the history the students are studying.

We love cross-campus connections! In the past few weeks, Grades 1 and 2 shared their writing projects with one another and Grades PK and 4 met up to read together, leading to some sibling reunions at school. It`s always a joy to see students sharing their learning and excitement with one another across grades, giving them a chance to reflect on their growth and look forward to the future.
