About BlendEd

The BlendEd Consortium was founded in 2013 by The Athenian School, The College Preparatory School, Lick-Wilmerding High School, Marin Academy, and The Urban School in order to jointly offer a set of hybrid courses combining face-to-face and online instruction. Our membership expanded to include The Branson School in 2019 and the San Francisco University High School in 2020.

We are pleased to announce that The Head-Royce School is joining the BlendEd Consortium in the 2025-2026 school year, with onboarding activities taking place in 2024-2025!

Together, our Consortium is committed to offering a catalog of remarkable courses that blend the best of all possible learning ingredients: virtual, in-person, experiential, authentic, immersive, local, and beyond.

As usual, we survey students from all member schools each Fall in order to ensure that our catalog continues to reflect their passions and interests. We will announce the next BlendEd catalog for 2025-2026 (Cycle 12!) by March 2025.
