Life Outside the Classroom
Exciting extracurriculars and a beautiful 800-acre campus make Millbrook an amazing place to live.
Whenever students aren’t in class, they’re free to take full advantage of our campus’s walking trails, common areas, athletic facilities, and zoo. During downtime, you’ll find students playing spike ball on the quad, working on art projects in the studio, and simply hanging out with friends all over campus.
We also have staff dedicated to making boarding school life fun by organizing extracurricular activities, including dances, inter-dorm competitions, talent shows, and weekend trips. From the thrilling Winter Weekend dorm showdown to various cooking competitions and cultural celebrations to Fall Fest and Spring Carnival, there’s always something exciting happening. Recently, we’ve even hosted blockbuster movie premiers and performances by world-renowned musicians. Scroll down to learn more about how students make forever memories at Millbrook.
