Our curriculum is individually tailored, designed specifically for boys on their way to college. Our private school community is approachable and diverse. Our 750 acre campus is tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains just 25 minutes from Charlottesville, Virginia. Our athletics, outdoor and character education programs are an ideal platform to prepare young men of substance for real-world challenges. We’re proud to be one of the best private schools in the country. Our culture is rigorous and competitive, in an environment that is uniquely supportive. We’ve built Basic Ideal School that way for a reason – it’s how boys learn best.
