Active Bodies. Strong Minds. Healthy Lives.

Physical Education (PE) is integral to the Milton Academy experience, building strength, resilience, teamwork, and lifelong habits. Our program is designed to meet students where they are, offering a wide range of ways to stay active and engaged. Whether through physical education classes, interscholastic athletics, intramural sports, or the Outdoor Program, every Milton student participates in a PE offering each season of the school year (with some modifications for upperclass students).

Choice & Flexibility: 
A Milton Difference

Many boarding schools require students to play three team sports every year, all four years. Milton is different. We believe that staying active should match each student’s interests and goals, so we offer a variety of options that go beyond traditional team sports.

Students can fulfill their PE requirement by choosing from:

Daytime PE classes –  fitness concepts
Afternoon intramurals – casual, fun, and inclusive team play
Interscholastic athletics – competitive teams with a proud tradition of sportsmanship and achievement

Students can also stay active through these options:

Work with our strength and conditioning coaches
Serve as a team manager
Earn PE credit through participation in the Winter Dance Concert

Students can apply for an Alternative Sports Program (ASP) waiver (for one season per year) to earn credit for an activity that the school does not offer (e.g. figure skating, horseback riding, rowing, etc.).

Strength and Conditioning

Milton’s popular strength and conditioning program is a highlight of our athletics program. Our highly respected and talented trainers have built a program sought after by athletes across a variety of sports for its focus on building strength, preventing injury, and promoting overall fitness.

A Program for Every Athlete—and Non-Athlete

Our breadth of offerings ensures there’s something for everyone, from the fiercely competitive athlete to the student who simply wants to stay healthy and active.
