As U.S. schools decide whether to bring students to campus, a small boarding school in Southern California has already planned to bring their students back for their usual outdoor learning

Taking classes out into the open is one key part of Midland School’s plans to get its roughly 85 students back to in-person lessons, while reducing the risk of spreading the novel coronavirus.

“What I keep reminding everybody is we are crafting a special year. Don’t expect it to be like any other,” said Head of School Christopher Barnes. He recognizes that Midland is in a privileged position compared to many other schools. Although almost half of students receive financial aid, full tuition is over $62,000 a year.

But school districts in Los Angeles and San Diego, citing “skyrocketing” coronavirus infection rates in California, have said instruction will resume with online teaching only in August. The Association of Boarding Schools represents roughly 200 independent, nonprofit U.S. schools, with a combined total of 90,000 students, half of whom are boarders.
