"Good Beginnings Never End" is the premise upon which The Milestone School was founded in 1979.
An independent Nursery through Grade 4 day school, we prepare students for a lifetime of learning. Realizing the importance of this critical phase of learning, our highly enriched curriculum will take your child through this first and most important "milestone" in his or her education.
Rooted in Montessori principles, we provide a strong academic foundation while leaving room for the child to explore many other disciplines from Spanish to our highly acclaimed Shakespeare program.
Our Small classroom sizes allow for individualized attention ensuring each child's academic success.
Centrally located in the Fleetwood section of Mount Vernon, Milestone draws its diverse student body from Westchester, Rockland and Fairfield Counties, as well as the surrounding New York City area.
Ours is an enlightened setting...it goes beyond retention of knowledge and works with each child to develop confidence, independence, and a desire to learn...preparing them for a a future of "endless possibilities.".
