Description

Blair Academy is a mid-sized boarding school located in Blairstown, New Jersey and is only 65 miles from New York City. Uniquely to Blair, a Society of Skeptics program was established for students and faculty to discuss and debate important global issues, and has become one of the premier high school student lecture series in the country and occurs every Tuesday night on campus. Students are well supported by a dual-advisory system, where faculty helps guide them on their academic path and offers each student social and emotional support during their time at Blair. Students also partake in many school traditions weekly and annually, including family-style dinners, Peddie Week, Parent's and International Weekend, Semi-Formals, among many other activities to get involved with Blair.
