Application Process

To begin the application process, please submit Blair's online inquiry form. Completing this form allows you to move forward in the application process and schedule an interview, and it also allows us to communicate with you about upcoming events.

Submit an Inquiry

The best way to learn about Blair is to visit campus, interview with our admission counselors, and tour our grounds and facilities. For those families unable to come to campus, we offer virtual interview opportunities.

Interviews are required for admission to Blair Academy. Before scheduling your interview you must complete our inquiry form, then reach out directly to Marivelle Clavel-Davis '82 at admission@blair.edu or call (908) 362-2009 to coordinate your upcoming interview. We are excited to get to know you and your family.

On Campus Tour & Interview (Offered September 3 through January 15)
Our on-campus visits include student-led walking tours and an interview with an admission officer; please plan for your visit to last approximately two hours. Interview times are limited, so we encourage you to book early! This is a wonderful opportunity to see our community at its best and we are excited to share the day with you.

Below please find a sample of our Fall Visit schedule:

Virtual Interviews
For those families who are unable to come to campus this fall, we offer virtual interview opportunities. Please see the virtual interview schedule below. We look forward to connecting with you soon.
 

*Please note all times are being offered in Eastern Standard Time 

Interviews are required for admission to Blair Academy. Please reach out directly to Marivelle Clavel-Davis '82 at admission@blair.edu to coordinate your upcoming interview. We are excited to get to know you and your family.

*Due to the overwhelming amount of requests for virtual interviews, any applicant who attends school in mainland China must interview through Vericant before December 15. This will fulfill your interview requirement for Blair Academy; however, we may reach out to schedule a follow-up interview with one of our admission counselors in January, if necessary.

Blair accepts both the Standard Application Online (SAO) or the Gateway to Prep School; we don’t have a preference, but recommend you use the one that will be best for you as an applicant. Please choose one and don’t submit both. A complete application includes an application fee via credit card or fee waiver. The application fee is $75.00 for students who live in the United States and $140 for students who live internationally.

Required Recommendations: 
Blair requires applicants to submit recommendations from their current English and mathematics teachers.

Recommendations can be submitted online through the SAO or Gateway application. We recommend asking your teachers to complete the online recommendation forms after November 1.

Each recommendation can also be downloaded and printed using the links below. Completed forms should be emailed to application@blair.edu or mailed to Blair Academy’s admission office at P.O. Box 600, 2 Park Street, Blairstown, NJ 07825. 

Your teachers should submit their recommendations to Blair by our deadline of January 15.

Optional Recommendation:
While not necessary, in some cases a personal recommendation can provide a more complete picture. If you wish to submit a personal recommendation, please limit personal recommendations to one or two people who you feel could add information that we may not have gotten in other parts of your application.

Personal recommendation

Blair requires you submit a transcript from the current year as well as the past two years. Please note that current transcripts should include first quarter or trimester grades of the current school year. Grades and courses must be listed on the transcript. 

Blair must receive all forms by January 15.
