- Blair Academy holds firmly to its tradition of being a supportive, nurturing, family-oriented community while offering a dynamic classroom experience. Students receive a superior college preparatory education in addition to developing leadership skills, becoming service-minded, and enhancing their athletic and/or artistic potential with the guidance and support of outstanding coaches, directors and teachers.
- Our Tuesday evening lecture series, The Society of Skeptics, has been in continuous existence since 1977, and is, arguably, the most premier high school lecture series in the country. Over the past 25 years, under the tutelage of Dr. Martin Miller, the weekly lecture series has featured a wide variety of speakers who are engaging, accomplished in their respective field, and often controversial. One thing is for sure: they all succeed in generating healthy discussion in the Blair classrooms and around campus. A selection of speakers can be viewed on the Blair web site.
- Our size plays a crucial role in the spirit of our school as we blend supervision and structure with opportunity and independence. Thus, while we are small enough to run study halls, to offer special help sessions, and to foster close student-faculty relations, we also have the size to support exciting curricular offerings like Asian Studies, architectural design, economics, video production, Chinese and creative writing. In addition, Blair has two choral singing groups, three instrumental music groups, a Model United Nations program, the best high school wrestling team in America, and a Habitat for Humanity trip. We see Blair’s size as being a fundamental quality of our school, a quality which distinguishes us from other schools in the Mid-Atlantic region.
- Blair will broke ground on a new state-of-the-art Student Activities and Athletic Center in the spring of 2007. The construction project includes ten new tennis courts; an artificial turf field for football, lacrosse and field hockey; a new track; four new squash courts; all purpose indoor courts for basketball, volleyball, intramural sports, etc.; a new fitness center; and a student activities center hosting the bookstore, campus grill, and a study area with wireless internet access.
