Founded in 1932, Midland School is a coeducational, college preparatory boarding school for grades 9-12.  It is located in Santa Barbara County on a 2,860-acre working ranch.  The school combines rigorous academics with intensive immersion in the environment, and maintains a philosophical commitment to authentic student leadership, simplicity, self-reliance and environmental stewardship.  Midland currently enrolls 90 students and employs 20 teachers, all of whom live on campus. Our interdepartmental curriculum is aligned with students learning from firsthand experience, including meeting basic needs and managing resources sustainably. Electricity from photovoltaic systems installed every year by sophomores (currently 15 percent of our campus is powered by the sun), fruits and vegetables from our organic garden and grass-fed cattle from our pasture all feed into our kitchen and dining hall, where students fulfill daily community jobs. For more information about Midland School, please see www.midland-school.org.
