Blair Academy was founded in 1848, when Mr. John Bunnell, a local carriage maker, and the Rev. John A. Reiley, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, began the enterprise of establishing a school in Blairstown. Successful and respected local businessman and church member John Insley was the third of “three men worthy of especial commendation on account of their successful zeal in behalf of the institution in its infancy.” The land and one-third of the cost of a small building, known today as the Old Academy, were given by Mr. Blair, and soon the Blair Presbyterial Academy began educating boys and girls from the surrounding community.

Today the Blair Academy is a coeducational, boarding and day school for students in high school. The school serves students from ninth through twelfth grades as well as a small post-graduate class. The school's campus is located on a 463 acres campus in Blairstown Township in Warren County, New Jersey,
