Step 3: Schedule Campus Visit and Admissions Interview

In order to complete the application, we recommend our prospective students and their families visit Blue Ridge School. The visit will include a personal tour of the campus and the applicant’s admissions interview. We encourage parents to bring unofficial transcripts, recent report cards or educational testing to the campus visit.

All applicants must interview as part of the admissions process. Students who cannot make it to campus for an interview may do so via Skype ®. Please call the Office of Admission to schedule your visit and interview.

Step 4: Submit Necessary Testing

If current (within two years) educational/psychological or other diagnostic testing related to the applicant's aptitude or achievement is available, please forward copies to the Office of Admissions.  Blue Ridge School may require testing before considering an application.
