context_page_description: Blue Ridge School is a private, all-male boarding school for students grades 9-12 located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Saint George, Virginia, near Charlottesville and the University of Virginia. The school was originally founded in 1909 by The Rev. George P. Mayo, an Episcopalian clergyman, as the Blue Ridge Industrial School, a school for the rural mountain students living in the region. It closed in 1960. The Blue Ridge School of today opened in 1962 as an all-boys boarding college prep school. Approximately 185 students attend Blue Ridge from 27 states and 15 foreign countries, with many from Virginia and other Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states. The school's campus is 751 acres in Greene County, Virginia, adjoining Brokenback Mountain at the edge of Shenandoah National Park in the Appalachian Mountains. The campus features a picturesque lake, miles of hiking and bike trails and rustic local stone buildings. The headmaster is William "Trip" Darren, since 2012.
