Midland Avenue Collegiate Institute (also known as Midland Avenue CI, MA, MACI, Midland CI, or Midland; formerly Midland Avenue Secondary School) is a Toronto District School Board-owned alternative learning complex in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada as the Midland Avenue Learning Centre consisting of Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies (SCAS), South East Year Round Alternative Centre (SEYRAC), and Caring and Safe Schools Midland program. Formerly a regular public high school, it opened in 1962 for the Scarborough Board of Education until its closure in 2000 due to low enrolment. Midland's motto is Semper ad Optimum which transliterates to "Always strive for the best".
Originally named Midland Avenue Secondary School (Midland Avenue SS, MASS or Midland SS), the school facility laid its cornerstone in 1959 with a time capsule was buried at that time. Built in 1961 on 13 acres behind the railway line, the school was then designed by an architectural firm Craig, Madill, Abram and Ingleson. It opened its doors in September 4, 1962 under its first principal James Hamilton as Scarborough's eighth collegiate and the first composite secondary school. Aside from Cedarbrae Secondary School as the first trade-academic institution, Midland Avenue Secondary opened for students in the area who attended many secondary schools surrounding it such as Agincourt, R. H. King, Churchill, W. A. Porter and Thomson Collegiates. Midland Avenue Secondary was itself renamed to Midland Avenue Collegiate Institute in 1965. The sections of the original building such as the commercial and technical wing was added along with the swimming pool built in 1963 and 1964 as well as the library in 1974.
