Life Outside the Classroom

Millbrook is an amazing place to live, and whenever students aren’t in class they’re free to take full advantage of our beautiful 800-acre campus’s walking trails, common areas, athletic facilities, and zoo. We also have staff dedicated to making boarding school life fun by organizing extracurricular activities including dances, inter-dorm competitions, and weekend trips.
