Day two of orientation—and both campuses were buzzing!

At the Ruby Family Campus, Grade 7 students spent their first day getting acclimated to their new surroundings, connecting with their advisory and classmates, and beginning to make the campus their own.

At the Jan Koum Campus, Grades 10 and 12 arrived for their first day, joining Grades 9 and 11 for an exciting Milken milestone: the very first time every Upper School grade gathered on the new campus together. The Student Commons was filled with students connecting, reconnecting, and settling into their new shared home.

For our seniors, the day carried particular meaning. Rabbi Ed Feinstein spoke with Grade 12 students about the magnitude of this moment—the beginning of their final year at Milken and the knowledge that, one year from now, they will be stepping out into the world on their own.

It was a big day of new beginnings across both campuses!

The first days of school are here!

Yesterday, students in Grades 6, 8, 9, and 11 kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with orientation, building community, connecting with their advisories, exploring their campuses, and preparing for the year ahead.

For our Middle School students, the day marked an especially exciting milestone as they began making the Ruby Family Campus their own for the first time in Milken history. At the brand-new Jan Koum Campus, Grades 9 and 11 toured their new spaces, participated in activities, bonded with classmates, and took their official school photos.

It was a wonderful beginning to this historic year at Milken!

What an incredible Start-of-School!

Before welcoming students back, our faculty and staff came together for a meaningful week of learning, preparation, connection, and celebration—marking the beginning of a truly historic chapter for Milken.

Together, we celebrated the opening of the brand-new Jan Koum Campus with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony and blessing from Rabbi Bernat-Kunin. We also prepared to welcome our Middle School students to the Ruby Family Campus for the first time in Milken’s history. Faculty and staff explored the campuses, prepared classrooms, participated in professional learning, and imagined all the learning, relationships, and milestones that will soon fill these extraordinary spaces.

Today, students in Grades 6, 8, 9, and 11 arrived for their first day of orientation—and tomorrow, we’ll welcome students in Grades 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12!

There is so much more to come. Follow along with our Instagram Stories for day-of moments as our students discover their campuses and begin making these spaces their own. 💙

Summer is in full swing at Elevate! Summer at Milken ☀️💙

What an incredible summer it has been so far! It's hard to believe this is only the second year of Elevate! Watching the program grow has been so rewarding—from welcoming back returning campers and counselors to meeting so many new faces joining us for the first time.

Whether campers have been cooking up something delicious, creating beautiful beaded jewelry, exploring the world of real estate, or diving into countless other hands-on experiences, they've been learning, growing, and, most importantly, having fun.

We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer season has in store!

As we continue looking back at memorable moments from this past school year, we're revisiting a special day for our community.

Earlier this year, Dr. Ellen Dooley was surprised with a national Milken Educator Award during an all-school assembly, becoming one of only two California educators to receive the honor and helping Milken become the first Jewish day school recognized with this prestigious award.

Known for bringing history to life and inspiring students to think deeply about the world around them, Dr. Dooley's dedication to her students and colleagues is felt across our campus every day.

Congratulations again, Dr. Dooley—we're proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition. 💙

Congratulations to Noa Jacoby ’26 and Gabrielle Kadouri ’26 on being named 2026 Milken Scholars!

Selected among just 10 outstanding college-bound students across Los Angeles County, Noa and Gabrielle were recognized for their exceptional academic achievement, leadership, service, and perseverance.

At Milken, Noa distinguished herself as a student leader, varsity volleyball captain, mentor, and researcher exploring mental health and addiction recovery. This fall, she will attend Vanderbilt University as a Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar, where she plans to study child development and pursue a career in psychology.

Gabrielle combined her passion for athletics and science by launching a sports medicine apprenticeship, conducting concussion research, leading student government, and captaining varsity soccer. She will attend the University of Texas at Austin to study kinesiology before pursuing her goal of becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

We are incredibly proud of the curiosity, compassion, and leadership Noa and Gabrielle have demonstrated throughout their time at Milken. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor—we can't wait to see the impact you'll make in the years ahead!

Mazal tov, Noa and Gabrielle!

What a fantastic start to Elevate! Summer at Milken! ☀️

Over the past three weeks, nearly 150 campers joined us for our Athletics Clinics, developing new skills, building confidence, making friends, and having fun across six different sports. From volleyball and soccer to football, basketball, and sports performance, it has been incredible to watch our campers grow both on and off the field.

Thank you to all of our campers, families, and coaches for making the first three weeks so special. Happy summer!
