Blue Ridge School is a school that teaches boys how to be men. The environment is filled with people from different backgrounds, making the school unique.

My son has grown so much at Blue Ridge. His teachers are engaged and challenge him to do his best work. He loves the outdoor programs, especially the mountain biking team. Blue Ridge offers incredible leadership opportunities that have allowed my son to practice responsibility, conflict resoluntion, and living in a community. The school has been everything we had hoped.

DO NOT SEND YOUR SON HERE!! This school is horrible and is only in it for the money. There were some nice instructors but the bulk of the staff put on a facade for parents. Do not even consider this place if your child has any challenges like adhd. They say they accommodate them but they DONT!!!! Please search all open reviews on the internet before sending your child here. If you do decide to send them anyway, pay the extra tuition insurance!!!!!

At the time, I didn't appreciate it. Being away from my family, no car, no normal dating etc. But once I got to college and succeeded so well, it made me appreciate the experience. And the older I get, the prouder I am of having had the opportunity to matriculate from there.

Worst years of my life. Scarred by my experiences. Would not recommend to students with a soul.

My son is a freshman and is having a wonderful time at Blue Ridge. He is so proud of the progress he has made in both academics and athletics.
