Cell phones and laptops are allowed but not required, and general program guidelines govern their usage during the program.

We interview hundreds of applicants each year, and Blueprint staff are the best and the brightest in their fields. Instructors include partner-school faculty, gifted graduate students and talented professionals. Our national recruiting campaign draws staff from across the country, ensuring that each team is comprised of experienced individuals dedicated to creating a safe and fun experience for every student.
The majority of students do come alone, but friends and family are absolutely welcome and roommate requests are available during the registration process. Either way, you're guaranteed to have a great time on campus and making friends is easy.
The programs are not the same, in fact each program possesses its own special personality and culture. Courses offered reflect academic strengths and facilities, and we work hand-in-hand with each school's faculty and staff to ensure you have the best possible experience. Nevertheless, Blueprint sets very high standards for each program and they all share several basic features.
Our instructors do not test their students, nor do they assign homework. We encourage students to learn for the sake of learning.
