Career Assessment & College-Major Coaching for Blue Ridge School Families
Blue Ridge School is an all-boys boarding school in St. George, Virginia, focused on educating boys whose learning style benefits from a structured, all-male environment. The school's intentional approach to boys' development resonates with Benjie's decade of work at Christ School.

Why the Highlands fits Blue Ridge School
Blue Ridge boys often respond particularly well to the structure of the Highlands process — discrete, timed, and objective. Many find that the assessment gives them a vocabulary for talking about themselves they didn't have before.
How we engage
Most Blue Ridge School families begin with an individual Highlands Ability Battery — a 3.5-hour online assessment plus a two-hour debrief — for one student. Some families come back for a second child two years later. Schools sometimes engage us at the institutional level for cohort work.
- Individual Highlands work for upper-school students
- Senior-class transition cohort
