co-educational, nonsectarian, independent day school enrolling
1,331 bright, talented students from nearly 56 Twin Cities-area
communities. Founded in 1900, The Blake School has the advantage
of facilities and campuses designed for specific developmental
ages. Blake’s mission is to engage students with a dynamic,
academically challenging education in a diverse and supportive
community committed to pluralism and a common set of values.

these beliefs, The Blake School actively seeks students, families
and employees who value and contribute to the fullness of a
diverse community within the context of its mission. In doing so,
we recognize our responsibility to help make each person's
