Iowa is a state located in the midwestern region of the United States. It's called the "Food Capital of the World" because its predominant industry was agriculture. These days, however, Iowa has become a state with a varied economic base. In the last few years, Iowa has become one of the top states in the country for business. This is because the cost of doing business (taxes, utility, other overhead expenses) is significantly lower than in other states. Iowa has also been considered one of the safest states to live in, one of the states with low cost of living and where people enjoy a good quality of life. It's also one of the top states in terms of quality of education that students get.

Iowa has a humid continental climate where summers can be extremely hot and winters can be extremely cold. The state's severe weather season also sees a lot of tornadoes occurring every year. The average number of tornadoes in Iowa can reach to almost 40, especially during spring and summer seasons.

Historically, Iowa was the pioneer of starting the secondary educational system in the country. Iowa spearheded the high school movement, and studies during the early 1900's show that the longer students stayed in school, the greater the chances that they will earn higher income.

Iowa has been consistently at the top in terms of high school graduation rate and consistently ranks at the top 3 for state scores in standardized tests. Iowa State Board of Education works in coordination with the state's Department of Education in supervising all state-accredited private schools, public elementary and high schools, and community colleges.

Some examples of Iowa colleges and universities include Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, Drake University, and others.

Some examples of Iowa boarding schools include the Maharishi School which has Transcendental Medication Programs and Science of Creative Intelligence programs to help students find a different way to learning.
