The school provides highly individualized educational services and has empowered students with learning and behavioral disabilities with the necessary academic skills and nurturing environment to succeed.

The Milton School is designed to help students gain college acceptance or placement in a post-graduate career. The non-sectarian private school is designed for students – according to its mission statement:
“To gain the academic and social skills they will need to flourish as independent and emotionally stable adults. Established in 1968, The Milton School serves students whose learning, behavioral or social challenges have prevented them from enjoying a successful educational experience in their schools’ regular or special classes. Some may have difficulty relating appropriately to peers or teachers; others may have attention deficits or an inability to process information effectively; still others may suffer from depression or excessive shyness.”
