We specifically focus on helping boys reach their potential through personalized, structured, innovative learning practices in a college preparatory, all-boarding community.

• Respond well to personalized instruction. We emphasize and develop study habits, time management and organizational skills, while living in a close-knit boarding community. We try to develop a rapport with each student and to focus on individual growth.
• Are willing to grow and who are open to joining the Blue Ridge family. Each boy is accepted as a unique individual, is nurtured as a valued member of our community, and is expected to develop sound habits of mind, body, and spirit.
• Are honest and respectful of other people and their property. Our Code of Conduct, which includes an Honor Code and core values, emphasizes decency and civility as integral parts of the School culture.
• Will strive to fulfill their potential as learners and as leaders. We are a people-centered School. Our academic, spiritual, and co-curricular programs offer learning and leadership opportunities that stimulate personal growth, and develop the skills and willingness to positively influence others.
• Will flourish in an academic environment that focuses on learning to use one's mind well. We are a small School, offering small classes, a structured, experiential learning environment and a faculty dedicated to the success of each boy.
