Co-Educational Programs for Pre-K through 12th Grade Students:
Independent schools enjoy the freedom — and challenge — of developing their own curricula. At Blake, you'll find a program with a uniquely integrated mix of academics, athletics and the arts; one that stresses community involvement and multiculturalism and one that incorporates a thoughtful use of new technology and leading-edge teaching strategies.

Enlivening our curriculum is a diverse community of bright students, teachers and staff who value creativity, action and a love of learning, and who understand the power of the individual as well as the importance of the group. Together, we strive to graduate individuals who are not only well educated, but who are good and just human beings.

Lower School Philosphy of Learning:
The staff believes Lower School students learn through personal involvement and active engagement with people, places, things and ideas. Hands-on exploration, interaction and dialogue with peers and adults, and reflection lead to an individualís construction of knowledge. Learning is a process that encourages children to play with, practice, connect, synthesize and apply new understandings. Ownership and choice are key elements in maximizing students' learning potential.

Middle School Academics:
Blake's Middle School students are exposed to a wide variety of academic experiences that help make this time of great transition and personal growth a successful one. The curriculum emphasizes investigation and independent thinking while providing a solid knowledge base in the academic disciplines, which are interwoven when appropriate to help students see the interrelation of all knowledge.

Upper School Academics:
Exploration is the key to Blake's Upper School academics. Students have increased freedom to choose their course of study and exercise their growing social and intellectual maturity. Small classes (under 16 students) allow for in-depth teacher/student partnerships and Blake's rigorous curriculum is designed to foster intellectual curiosity and critical thinking.
