Courses & Curriculum
Blair was a game changer for our son. To say that he came out of his shell is an understatement. His confidence, as well as his oral and written communication skills, expanded significantly, making him well prepared for college and beyond. We are so happy with our decision to send him to Blair and so is he.

At Blair, we blend our traditional core curriculum with innovative offerings and best-practice teaching approaches. Our engaging and challenging courses incorporate reflection and analytical thought, and we offer a number of course levels to choose from, including more than 50 honors, Advanced Placement (AP) and post-AP classes.
We believe students learn best when they have a choice in what and how they learn, encounter appropriate challenge in their intellectual pursuits and have space to express their creativity. That's why Blair students have the ability to tailor their coursework to their abilities and interests.
