Discover Blair at Admission Fall Preview

Blair will welcome prospective seventh and eighth graders and their families to campus on Saturday, September 13, from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. for its annual Fall Preview, 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. “There is no better way to get to know Blair than by visiting in person and meeting our students and teachers. This program does that and more through information sessions, tours of campus and an overview of the admission process.” 

Blair prides itself on being a mid-size boarding school that combines the program offerings of a larger school with the community and culture of a smaller school. “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,” Mr. Wenner explained.

If you have any questions about the event, or would like to speak with a member of the admission team, please reach out to our admission coordinator at admission@blair.edu. The School community looks forward to welcoming families with children who are considering Blair for high school for the 2026-2027 school year.
