Welcome to Blue Oak School, where children develop a spirit of inquiry, a passion for learning and habits of mind that endure.
-
Blue Oak School has a transformative effect on children. Here they learn to take an active role in their own learning – following their questions and interests and gaining not only knowledge, but the ability to locate and process knowledge for the good of the greater community. The School’s student body is a diverse one, reflecting a range of backgrounds, interests and talents. Generous need-based financial aid grants make it possible for many of these children to attend the School.
A remarkable faculty guides the growth of Blue Oak School’s students. Creating units of study that are highly motivating and developmentally appropriate, in small classes that make individual and group attention possible, teachers know each of their students well and make sure all are challenged and supported.
People entering the School for the first time often remark on the atmosphere and ethos of the place. Students and their learning are taken seriously here; there is a busy hum of productivity and civility that has its basis in trust and caring. Creativity, curiosity and collaboration are encouraged and celebrated.
We invite you to visit Blue Oak School and witness for yourself, children joyfully engaged in their pursuits, led by a faculty committed to creating the best environment for learning.
Best wishes,
Hal Hensler
Head of School
