About Miller School

Miller School, a coeducational day and boarding college preparatory school for students in grades 8 - PG, first opened its doors in 1878 with 33 students. One of the nation's oldest coeducational boarding schools, girls first enrolled in Miller in 1884. In 2005-2006, Miller School entered its 128th year with 145 boys and girls from around Virginia, around the nation, and around the world. The School is situated 12 miles west of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, on a gently rolling campus of 1600 scenic acres, including our very own 12-acre lake!

Proud of being a small school with small classes, Miller boasts a vigorous academic college preparatory program and a unique “mind, hands, and heart” curriculum. There is an emphasis on character, honor, and individual responsibility; arts education; community service; and athletics for both boys and girls.
