I spent one year at Blair Academy and it's one of those places that you don't realize how much you'll miss it until it's gone. I wouldn't trade my year at Blair for anything and the memories and lessons I learned along the way I'll never forget. It's one of those places where the people really make it special from your classmates to the faculty and staff. Blair is a great place to gain a top tear education that prepares you for the rigors of college.

Blair was a home away from home. The faculty is both caring and inclusive and bridged the gap between mentor and friend well. Loved the diversity in the student body as it opened up conversations about life all over the globe.

After Blair, I attended a top liberal arts college and the graduate school at Dartmouth, medical school and training at both Cleveland and Mayo Clinics. As great as these other institutions are, Blair was the greatest educational experience of my life!

As a parent of a recent Blair graduate, I give this school the highest rating. The faculty worked hard to bring out all his talents and offer him leadership opportunities. Most independent schools will tell you that they do this, but many do not. It's a great school from the Headmaster on down. Ther...
