Current News and Upcoming Events

Summer School Offerings:

More information about our offerings should become available by Mid-April, and will be posted in this space. The MCPS school calendar currently lists the last day of school as Friday, June 26th, 2026. However, there is currently a bill moving through the Maryland General Assembly, specifically, House Bill 1084, having passed the House unanimously and heading to the Senate, aiming to allow Montgomery County Public Schools to prioritize 1,080 instructional hours over 180 days. If the bill is adopted, there is a chance that the last day of school is altered again. As a result, our summer course offerings cannot be finalized at this time. For planning purposes, families can expect that our offerings will begin right after school ends for the year. We plan to offer a Magnet Geometry Course, and a "Factoring Camp," as we have done in the past.

Magnet Mission

Recognizing that education is an individual experience that depends on the unique talents and interests of each person, the mission of the Blair Magnet Program is to provide an environment in which each person's education is maximized by emphasizing the interrelationships among the disciplines, developing a repertoire of problem-solving techniques, and pursuing both independent and collaborative research projects.

To realize the above mission, the staff nurtures the special talents of its academically able students by fostering individualism, independent thinking, and self-confidence by challenging those students through a unique, diversified curriculum. The environment, structure, and content promote the self-learner concept in which students participate in constructing their own knowledge base and learn problem-solving strategies that foster the multidisciplinary approach. The scope of their education extends beyond traditional classroom boundaries as students are asked to connect with a community that includes not only parents, mentors, other students, and staff but also a physical environment as diverse as our region.
