The West End School is an academically rigorous, free boarding school in Louisville, Kentucky for boys, grades Pre-K through 8. The school was founded in 2005 by Robert Blair and his wife Debbie. The focus of the school is to help "at risk" boys from the West End neighborhoods of Louisville, Kentucky. It admits incoming sixth-graders who qualify for the free or reduced lunch program and who are capable of doing grade-level work. The school does not accept students with therapeutic counseling needs or serious learning difficulties.

The school is run like a traditional boarding school. The boys must get up each day at 7:15 and lights out is at 9:30. Paul Perconti is the chairman of the school's board of directors.
