About Blue Ridge School
BRS is an all boys, college
preparatory boarding school grades nine through twelve, Blue Ridge
School serves young men who respond well to small classes, structured
environment and strong sense of community. Our faculty challenges each
boy to reach beyond his current level of performance and expectation to
discover his potential. We develop character by nurturing qualities
such as integrity, courage, perserverance and empathy.
The average class size is eight and the average student
load per teacher is 40. This allows teachers to give personalized
attention and individualize teaching materials for their classes. Blue
Ridge School understands that boys learn
differently from girls, and the School uses a Learning
Model designed specifically for boys.
Social Activities,
the Arts, Clubs, Community Service
and Athletics are valuable
vehicles for the development of young men. Blue Ridge School offers a
number of different co-curricular programs that build self-esteem and
develop leadership and teamwork skills.
Blue Ridge School has
been built upon the values of integrity, civility and a strong sense of
work ethic. Our CODE
OF CONDUCT is unique in the way that it is written for both our
students and the adult members of our community. Additionally our code
incorporates the concept of Brothers' Keeper - promoting a peer culture
of responsibility and obligation to each other.
