How to apply - Lower School

A student/parent interview is required for all admission candidates to Grades 6 and 7, and must be completed by January 15. Candidates, and their parents or guardians, are invited to campus for a tour with a current middle school parent, followed by an interview with an admission counselor. Please allow 90 minutes for this appointment.

You may schedule your student/parent tour and interview through your Ravenna portal starting in September.

To best meet the needs of our families, we are also offering limited virtual interviews via Zoom. Starting in September, please call the Lower and Middle School Admission Office, at 617-898-2509, to schedule a virtual interview.

*Appointments fill up quickly, so we encourage you to schedule your visit as soon as possible. Families with more than one applicant should only sign up for one appointment slot.*

Explore Milton any time by taking a virtual tour of our campus.

Create an Account

To begin, you will need to either log into your Ravenna Hub portal, or create a new account. Once logged in, you will see a list of “Application Steps”, describing all of the Milton Academy Admission required elements. You can check back as often as you wish to see an updated list of materials we have received and items that have been checked off. Through the Ravenna hub you can:

• Manage your application
• Initiate requests for recommendations and school reports
• Schedule a Tour/Interview, as well as register for other relevant events
• View decision letter on March 10

While we encourage families to begin the application process before the deadline, completed applications are due by January 15, 2026.

Teacher Recommendation

The AISNE form is a confidential document that must be sent to us directly from your child’s school or teachers. You can request this recommendation via an online form in your “Application Steps” instructions in Ravenna. Additionally, there is an optional, supplemental recommendation form that can be filled out by a former teacher, coach, tutor, instructor, etc.

Kindergarten Individual Assessment (Kindergarten applicants only)
Once your child’s application is submitted, we will contact you to schedule an individual assessment appointment.

Group Visits (Kindergarten and Grade 4 only)
All applicants for Kindergarten and Grade 4 will be scheduled for a Group Visit. This visit is assigned upon receipt of the online application. The Group Visit is an essential part of the admission process. It provides an opportunity for the prospective students to learn more about Milton, and for our admission officers to get to know each applicant.

Please note that this visit can be waived for applicants who are applying from out of state or internationally.​​​​​​​
