Midland School Information

Midland School is an economically and ethnically diverse college preparatory boarding school for students in grades 9–12. Since its founding in 1932, Midland has embraced a simple, self-reliant way of life in a community that lives close to nature. Midland offers a rigorous academic program that challenges students to think deeply, write and speak with confidence, and engage seriously with ideas. Students learn in close partnership with faculty who live and work alongside them, and graduates leave prepared to thrive in college and beyond. That academic foundation is rooted in agrarian values that are increasingly rare and sought after in today's world. Midland's founder, Paul Squibb, believed an understanding of natural resources was essential to education, because only through that understanding can students truly value and conserve them. Although we're well beyond Midland's age of kerosene lamps, students still tend an organic garden and work together each day to care for the campus and land we share. Midland stands firmly among the top boarding schools in North America. We attract and develop self-reliant, responsible students who become effective leaders, partners, parents, employees, and citizens.
