The Midland Experience
For Seattle Families
At Midland School, students live their education. Lessons extend beyond the classroom walls as instructors and students explore the frontiers of education together.
Welcome, Seattle Families!
Living your education in Los Olivos, CA
Midland School is a 100% boarding school environment located a 45-minute drive from Santa Barbara on California’s central coast. Midland has a significant contingent of students from west coast cities outside of California. Since all our students are boarding students, they share the same experiences and build one tight-knit community.
While many of our west coast families never considered boarding before they encountered Midland, they consistently share that our 6-7 week academic cycles followed by a week of vacation have allowed them to stay connected with their children and grow closer during the high school years.
We intentionally connect families who live near each other for the purpose of traveling together The school provides transportation to and from the airport and train station in Santa Barbara/Goleta when it’s time for students to arrive or depart for breaks. Direct flights from Seattle to Santa Barbara are offered on Alaska Airlines.
