History
In 1970, the New Haven Seventh-day Adventist School in Overland Park, Kansas and the First Seventh-day Adventist School located on 18th Street in Kansas City, Kansas, were consolidated to form Midland Adventist School, a 1-10th grade school. Located on 88th Terrace in Overland Park, the school used a building that was originally a radio station.
In 1980, Midland Adventist School moved to its present location in Shawnee on Maurer Road, east of I-435. This 44-acre site includes woods and a pond. 11th and 12th grades were added consecutively in 1996 and 1997, and the first senior graduation took place in May 1998. Currently, Midland is a co-educational K-12th grade school complete with a gymnasium, library, cafeteria, science lab and computer center, as well as athletics and music programs. Midland offers a Christ-centered curriculum to approximately 135 students.
Midland currently serves the constituents of the Chapel Oaks (Shawnee, KS), New Haven (Overland Park, KS), New Life (Olathe, KS), and West Lenexa (Lenexa, KS) Seventh-day Adventist churches, as well as students from the surrounding communities.
Midland is accredited by the following bodies: The North American Division Commission on Accreditation of the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges, and Universities, Inc. and NCPSA (National Council for Private School Accreditation). We are also a member of KAIRS (Kansas Association of Independent and Religious Schools).
