What is MILTON's annual budget?

How will my gift to The MILTON Fund be used?
The MILTON Fund is unrestricted income that covers everything in the annual budget that tuition alone does not. More than 75% of school expenditures go to faculty and staff salaries, professional development, and direct classroom costs. Facilities and operating expenses include everything from running bus routes to cleaning and maintaining the building and keeping the lights on.
