The Blake School Financial Assistance Workshop

Academic excellence is the core of The Blake School experience and the foundation of student success in college and beyond. The Blake School, a co-educational, independent, Pre-K–12 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 January 11, 13 and 16. 


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 a Financial Assistance Workshop on Saturday, Jan. 11 from 9 to 11 a.m. on its Hopkins campus. Commitment to affordability is evidenced by Blake’s strong financial assistance program: $4.3 million of need-based financial assistance awarded to nearly 20 percent of the student body.
