The Blake School is a pre-kindergarten through grade 12,
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. Students pursue an integrated program of
academic, artistic and athletic activities, preparing for college,
lifelong learning and purposeful lives as community and global
citizens. The school community is also guided by its Commitment to Pluralism and core values.
The Blake School believes that a diverse society enriches all
individuals and communities. Diversity of race, ethnicity, national
origin, geography, religion, gender, affectional or sexual
orientation, age, physical ability, and marital, parental or economic
status forms the fabric of our society. As a result of 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 experience a success. EOE
