I am pleased with The Midland Academy, it is a school that continues to uphold American values. Earlier this year the school had an assembly where students painted an American flag to patriotic music. The assembly was great, all of the kids were there and many of us parents were there too. I want my children to grow up knowing that the United States is a great country. My children are getting a great education while learning about our country.

We have been very satisfied with the education our child is receiving at Midland Academy. it is a great alternative to large public schools. There are not a ton of "extra's" but the academics are very good and that is what is important. There is a great band program, a few sports, several clubs/ organizations, and an after school program. There is no lunch program and children are required to wear uniforms. If you are looking for a smaller, family feeling for your child come check out Midland Academy!

We're very happy with the education our children are receiving at the Midland Acdemy. The academics are definitely advanced in lower and middle school, I'd say about 1-2 years ahead of other public schools. Children can learn so very much at this school and will be well-prepared for college, as long as the parents are supportive. It's all what you make of it, but the opportunity is there for a great education for every child.

After being repeatedly disappointed with Midland Public, we changed to this school and have been happy. Our child is learning so much. We are very hands on with her education and the teaching philosophy of the Midland Academy complements that.

I have 2 Middle School students and they love there teachers and the over all atmosphere of the school. They found the students very accepting and The Midland Academy has changed their lives in a very positive way.

I love the fact that my children can attend a school that the parents can be involved in. Education is very important to me and I like to know exactly where my child is at. The teachers are very approachable and willing to let you help in the classrooms. As much as possible each child is challenged at his or her level. Classroom sizes are a little larger than I would like, but it just shows how many people are coming to this school because of the academic excellence. I love being a part of a school that the adminstration is easy to approach and will sit and listen to concerns and praises. The 60 minutes of driving time a day are very well worth the price of the education my children receive at the academy.

I love the education my children are getting at the Midland Academy. I feel that they are challenged and encouraged to do their best. The teachers are strict and structured yet nurturing. The fact the parents are encouraged to be involved allows me to be in the school and near my children helping in areas all throughout the school.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL! As a parent who has dealt with the public school failure, I turned to home schooling as my only option. After 2 years I reasearched my options. After walking through the school I decided I would try it out. I am so glad I did. The parent involvement is great, the staff is always available for questions and I have never been told anyone is ever to busy to answer my questions. My children are both doing well academically and challenged daily. They are constantly reminded that there actions reflect them as an individual and not as a group. If you are looking for a school where Adminstration and Staff care about your childs well being as well as their education, and challenges them then this is the school for you.

Very disappointing! The school promises a lot but does NOT deliver. We came there for the advanced cirrculum, focus on character, programs like the Kawanis club, etc. and in every case we have been let down or the programs we were told about about are not even running. There is NO administrative presence in the school what so ever therefore there is no consistency in the way classrooms are run, expectations and rules to be followed. If this school was run at all like they say or describe in their handbook it would be great but as of right now that is not the case!!!

I can't say enough about this school for my kids education. I would have loved to have seen Mr Damiels stay, as we have not yet formed an opinion on the new first grade teacher. The only people that would not like the Academy are the ones not putting forth any effort into their child's studies. I would like a few things to be different, but no one is perfect. Cleaning should be a higher concern for the kindergaten room. Overall I am happy that my kids go to the Academy.
