BRS was a life changing experience for me at a time when I needed someone to believe in me and encourage me to be more than I thought I could be.”
Blue Ridge has exceeded our expectations at every turn. Trips to Charlottesville and DC, mountain biking, lacrosse, music mixing, and active learning. Collin tells us the small classes enable the teacher to work individually with each student."
