I have 2 boys presently at BRS. My boys could not be more different - one is social and outgoing and one is introverted, has ADHD etc. The school has been wonderful for both boys. My oldest is a senior and will be attending the #5 Engineering school in the US. He has been on the STEM path the entire time, is not sports inclined, and the staff has bent over backwards to bring him out of his shell and also provide him the level of education he demands. My younger son is also highly intelligent and has excelled whereas he had not at previous private schools. Honestly I think all he needed was the confidence and the daily affirmation that he is given at BRS. He is sports inclined and makes use of the school's facilities. As for college prep - forget academics for a min. Living in a dorm, having a roommate, etc. This takes one step out of the college prep process that people don't always think about. These boys know dorm living and it brings no angst in regards to college.
My son has grown so much at Blue Ridge. His teachers are engaged and challenge him to do his best work. He loves the outdoor programs, especially the mountain biking team. Blue Ridge offers incredible leadership opportunities that have allowed my son to practice responsibility, conflict resoluntion, and living in a community. The school has been everything we had hoped.
The Blue Ridge School has checked every box a parent could desire. BRS has a diversity in both the teaching staff and in the student body. It has a remarkably low student to teacher ratio, which is realized in most classes and translates into outstanding academic experiences. It has the philosophy and resources to effectively engage and direct boys. We have two sons at Blue Ridge and they are both happy and excelling. Excelling in academics, in setting preparatory expectations and in developing the skills and habits for success, in the advising and mentoring they receive, in engaging in new extracurricular opportunities, in developing their character, in broadening them socially, in their boarding experience and living with roommates. There is a brotherhood bond in the students and a bond with their teachers and advisors that is extraordinarily pleasing for our family to observe.
