Beneath the Canopy, "Foundation to Future"
Seventh Annual Auction to Benefit Blue Oak School
Thanks to all our supporters, volunteers and staff for making Beneath the Canopy – Foundation to Future such an outstanding success.
Your support ensures that Blue Oak School can continue to provide an education to our students that is strengthened by these Mission-guided features:
- An inquiry-based liberal arts program that integrates art, music, drama, Spanish, physical education, experiential learning, community service and environmental studies into core curricular concepts while inspiring creativity and responsibility.
- Highly qualified and dedicated faculty who foster curiosity, critical thinking skills and a life-long love of learning.
- Class sizes that are small and student-centered, allowing each child to have individualized and differentiated instruction.
- Professional development and technology integration, allowing continual enhancement and innovation of our programs.
- Access to a diverse community where hearts and minds can be open to new perspectives and points of view.
Auction revenue also supports the School’s commitment to diversity by providing resources for a generous need-based financial aid program. By educating children in an environment that embodies the richness and variety of our world, they receive the tools they need to be thoughtful and tolerant citizens. A remarkable 35% of Blue Oak School families receive financial assistance, twice the national average for independent schools. It is one of the elements that make Blue Oak School exceptional; and without the dollars raised at the annual auction, it would not be possible.
