Student Life

Our vibrant community is warm and welcoming, and students are supported and celebrated for their achievements in the classroom and beyond. Living in a dorm with classmates and faculty members from all over the world teaches students to develop and maintain strong relationships, solve problems and manage their time well. Our dorms become a “home away from home,” and the depth of relationships forged in our residence halls gives students the confidence to try new things and become engaged and service-minded citizens eager to seek out leadership roles.

Summary: At the heart of the Blair experience is the commitment to the development of the whole person. To this end, we believe that college counseling at Blair should be part and parcel of this overall development. Our hope is that each student finds the college process to be a fitting closure to a bigger, more important high school experience.
