Blacksburg New School is Growing

Blacksburg New School is on the brink of an exciting new chapter, and we need your help to make it happen! Thanks to a significant donation, we’re almost able to move forward with plans for a new Multipurpose Building! This is a dream that has been a long time in the making and is desperately needed. With this donation also comes the opportunity for a match up of to $250,000 in additional contributions, doubling the impact of every dollar you give!

This new building will be a game-changer for BNS. It will feature a spacious area for indoor PE classes, after-school programs, and community gatherings, giving us the flexibility to host events and activities regardless of the weather. A new art room will provide our students with more space to explore their creativity, while the former art room will be transformed into a dedicated classroom for music classes. Additionally, new breakout rooms will offer flexible spaces for tutoring, small-group learning, and elective courses. But that’s not all—this project also includes extending our playground, improving our parking lot, adding new fencing, and enhancing our main building with a larger staff room and a welcoming entrance complete with a parent coffee bar and community hangout space. These thoughtful updates will create spaces that inspire creativity, collaboration, and connection.

Your support is vital to bringing this vision to life. By contributing to this campaign, you’re not only helping us unlock the $250,000 matching gift but also making an investment in the future of BNS. Together, we can create a brighter, more vibrant future for our students and our community. Every donation counts—thank you for helping us build something extraordinary!

Who We Are -

Since 1971, Blacksburg New School has been a school woven together by community, togetherness, and a dedicated partnership of playful students, wise teachers, and engaged parents. Our school prides itself in high academic standards with social interaction and conversation at the core of our curricula.

Small class sizes on a beautiful campus engender learning that is up close and personal. Students learn to comfortably and kindly interact with peers, with students from different grade levels, and with adults. They are learning how to be a friend, resolve conflicts in healthy ways, and ask thought-provoking questions. 

Blacksburg New School is an independent K-8 school fostering academic achievement, creative and critical thinking, and thoughtful action. Our mission is to serve our students, teachers, and parents by providing a cooperative educational environment. We are committed to academic and civic excellence, to individual and community responsibility, and to the love of learning.
