What type of student does Blair admit? 

This is the number one question asked of Blair's admission team.

First and foremost, Blair Academy seeks students of high character who are kind individuals. Our students also demonstrate strong academic ability and a true passion for learning, and we value individuals with a strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity and a commitment to personal growth. We encourage applications from students who are engaged, collaborative and eager to participate in activities on the hilltop, as well as those who foster inclusivity by understanding and appreciating diverse viewpoints.

Ultimately, Blair seeks to enroll well-rounded students who will not only thrive but also enrich our community.
