Tuition and Affordability
A Blake education is an excellent investment in your child’s future, and represents an expense that may be beyond the reach of some families. Blake’s Board of Trustees has set a specific long-term target that twenty-five percent of our student body will represent socio-economic diversity. We believe that students learn best when their peers are from a variety of economic, cultural and geographic backgrounds. Blake is committed to making its education affordable to families who represent various income tiers.

As you contemplate Blake’s tuition and fee structure, we hope you’ll consider the value of investing in an outstanding education. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you to make this belief a reality. Please call 952-988-3420 and ask to speak to our Director of Financial Aid today.
