Admission Spring Preview Welcomes Prospective Families
Ashley Taube

Blair will welcome families who are interested in learning more about the School and our admission process for the 2027-2028 school year to campus on Saturday, May 2, from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. for its annual Spring Preview. This is an admission office event designed to give those considering boarding school a firsthand look at the value of a Blair education.
 
“Our goal is to introduce families to our dynamic curricular and cocurricular activities that challenge our students daily, as well as our vibrant and warm community that supports them through this transformative time in their lives,” said Dean of Enrollment Teddy Wenner ’96.

Following registration in the Chiang-Elghanayan Center for Innovation and Collaboration, Mr. Wenner will give an overview of life on the hilltop and academic offerings at the School, including student life, dorm living, and our signature academic programs and advanced curriculum. He will also provide a general overview of Blair’s admission process, with the aim of offering insight into what to expect throughout the admission cycle for the coming school year. Visitors will then be led on a walking tour of the hilltop to see our historic campus, state-of-the-art facilities and picturesque grounds. 

“Blair is a special place. We are a mid-size boarding school that combines the program offerings of a larger school with the community and culture of a smaller school,” Mr. Wenner said. “Above all else, we are looking for kind, high-character applicants—students who want to engage within our community, are intellectually curious and motivated to take advantage of the numerous opportunities on our hilltop.”

If you have any questions about the event, or would like to speak with a member of the admission team, please email admission@blair.edu or call (908) 362-2009. The School community looks forward to welcoming families with children who are considering Blair for high school for the 2027-2028 school year.
