Midland School

Midland School is a small, fully boarding high school in California that offers a more hands-on and outdoor-focused experience than most U.S. private schools. With about 70–80 students, it combines strong academics with daily responsibilities like campus work and living in close community. Compared to traditional private schools, Midland emphasizes simplicity, independence, and learning through real-life experience, making it a more intimate and nature-centered alternative.
