Welcome to Admission

Fall 2012   

Patti LemleinPhilosophically and pedagogically, Milken believes in educating the whole child and seeks to cultivate each student’s mind, heart and soul.  Our foundation is built on the highest academic standards and on promoting Jewish ethical and spiritual values.  We foster personal confidence, critical thinking skills and creativity while supporting and challenging students in their path to finding their passions and shaping their identities.   

Milken’s innovative academic, extracurricular and signature programs are implemented by highly qualified educators who are experts in their field and are committed to individualizing the experience for each student.  Our state-of-the-art facility promotes exploration and discovery while fostering a safe environment where students are encouraged to take the risks necessary to reach and surpass their potential.  Our admission process supports this goal by admitting students and families who are committed to the mission of our school and who will be active and positive members of our dynamic learning community.  

Understanding that selecting a secondary school is one of the most important decisions you will make as a family, we offer both our application packet and our website as avenues to learn even more about our school.  We believe, however, that the very best way to experience Milken is to join us for a visit.   

If I can be of any assistance to you in this process, please do not hesitate to contact me or another member of our admission team. I hope to see you on the Milken campus soon! 

Warm Regards,

Patti Lemlein
Director of Admission
