Discover The Blake School in Action Admissions Events
Academic excellence is the core of The Blake School experience and the foundation of student success in college and beyond. The Blake School invites families to learn more about Blake — our faculty and students, our programs, and what makes us unique. Parents and their children are invited to learn more about Blake on December 5 and 12. On the morning of December 5 families with children in grades Pre-K–5 can explore the Highcroft campus located in Wayzata. That evening, families with Pre-K–12 students are invited to attend a Blake community event at the Maple Grove Community Center.
The Blake School seeks a talented, motivated and economically diverse student body and believes the cost of an independent school education should not be a barrier to prospective families. If you’ve ever considered sending your children to an independent, college-preparatory school but have wondered about affordability, Blake invites you to its “Making Blake Affordable” event in St. Louis Park on December 12.

Blake is one of the strongest coeducational college-preparatory independent schools in the nation. For more than 113 years, Blake has provided a rigorous academic experience and a supportive community that have prepared our graduates for successful lives in an interconnected world. Located on three campuses, Blake enrolls approximately 1,370 students who come to us from more than 55 communities in and around the Twin Cities.
Featuring a preeminent faculty, our school combines the individual caring of a small school with the challenging programs and superior facilities of a larger one. From pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, Blake students contribute to the life of the school in a variety of areas including the arts, athletics, leadership and service.
Commitment to affordability is evidenced by Blake’s strong financial aid program: $4.3 million of need-based financial assistance awarded to nearly 20 percent of the student body.
All admissions and financial aid applications must be received by January 31, 2014. Prospective families are also invited to attend a financial aid workshop on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 9 a.m. on Blake’s Hopkins campus.
