Making The Blake School Affordable: Join Our Learning Community

Academic excellence is the core of The Blake School experience and the foundation of student success in college and beyond. 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. 


Thursday, December 12 
Making Blake Affordable: Join Our Learning Community
6:30–8:00 p.m.
Grades Pre-K–12
St. Louis Park Library, 3240 Library Lane, St. Louis Park, MN 55426

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.

For directions or more information, please visit Blake’s web site at www.blakeschool.org or call the Blake Admissions Office at (952) 988-3420.
