Admissions
Come explore what your child can become at Blake! We look forward to helping you discover more about our exceptional program and warm, inclusive school community. Blake offers an excellent education grounded in shared values—respect, love of learning, integrity, courage and commitment to pluralism. Blake students become lifelong learners who make lasting contributions to the world. They develop the habits of mind to think critically, solve problems, empathize, create and make the world better.
Blake enrolls approximately 175 new students each year. Most enroll at our entry points (pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, grade four, grade six and grade nine), while a small set enrolls in other grades. About 25% of new students receive need-based financial assistance.
Our Admissions team looks forward to helping you learn what your child can become at Blake. We are available to talk and answer questions (via phone or Zoom) and offer campus tours of our Lower School, Middle School or Upper School. To sign up for a tour, register for an event or apply for admission, please create an account in the Blake Admissions portal.
