Off-Campus Programs
The school encourages its students to participate in activities which reinforce their Millbrook academic program. Among these might be international travel and language study, community service programs, outdoor adventures, scientific study, visual and performing arts programs, and sports-related programs.
Millbrook offers Vth formers the opportunity to explore academic opportunities beyond campus through School Year Abroad and several mission-based, academically rigorous semester programs aimed at high school juniors. As in our own academic programs, the purpose of these special study opportunities is to allow interested Vth formers the chance to explore aspects of our mission through experiences beyond Millbrook: in foreign countries (including Spain and France) and closer to home at The Mountain School (Vermont), Chewonki (Maine Coast Semester), The Island School (Cape Eleuthera), the School for Ethics and Global Leadership (Washington D.C.), or the High Mountain Institute (Rocky Mountains, Colorado).

Even the baseball and lacrosse teams travel south during spring break to warm up for the coming season.
