Teaching & Learning at our private high school
Blair teachers care about more than your grades; they want to make sure you are happy and successful here. Their support gives students confidence and teaches us how to be independent. My family has noticed how this has positively influenced my personality and behavior, and I know other families feel the same.

The Blair experience, in northern New Jersey (NJ), is an extraordinary opportunity that empowers students to become persons of great accomplishment and character and prepares them for success in college and in life. Our educational philosophy informs our work in and out of the classroom and includes these guiding principles.
