The way I’ve been grateful about Blue Oak is that they really gave me a social skill and I have become a confident person where I am sure of myself and I know how to approach any situation. …Having Blue Oak as an option widens your view. I just want everyone to feel the same way I did. I felt welcomed and that I could do anything after graduating from there; I just felt ready to take on anything.

-Julie Figueroa – Class of 2013

Blue Oak made it possible for me to maximize my own talents. Through those different avenues, I was able to discover my talents and passions where I excelled and where I needed to do more work. Blue Oak provided that for me. …so I’m eternally grateful for that.

With three kids, our hope for our children is that they develop a passion for life-long learning, are self-assured, creative and overall are just well-rounded individuals. After visiting the school, meeting teachers and talking to students, we knew that Blue Oak would serve as an ideal foundation for our children to grow, gain confidence, learn, and achieve.

Blue Oak faculty, as well as the students, and parents, have been strong allies in our children’s learning process by supplementing what we do as parents with an education that goes beyond the curriculum; being supportive mentors to our children as individuals while emphasizing character, values, self-confidence, and commitment to the community and world around them.

I encourage anyone interested in a great education for their kids to at least visit the school to talk to the students. You’ll see that any investment made with Blue Oak is a worthy one. We cannot speak highly enough about our experience and satisfaction with Blue Oak School.

Blue Oak teaches children for the world we will live in during the next 100 years (not the last). Children are engaged, supported and challenged. You have children feeling deeply and thinking critically. We have faculty that sees themselves as collaborators and coaches, not drill sergeants.

Children graduate from Blue Oak inspired and confident and in charge of their education.

We are grateful that we found Blue Oak School for our first grader son, who is thriving academically, socially and emotionally under the nourishing and caring guidance of his teachers.

Qualified faculty, small size classrooms, individual attention, mixed-class activities, hands-on learning and integrated curriculum at Blue Oak create a safe and engaging learning environment for children. My son is eager to do his homework and he looks forward to going to school every morning.

In a nutshell, he is learning to love learning and be an independent thinker.

Thanks,
Joti – Parent

What I love most about Blue Oak is the strong sense of community and the way everyone, students and teachers, truly look out for each other. It’s a place where I feel safe, supported, and heard. The teachers take the time to understand us as individuals, not just as students. They encourage our ideas, help us grow, and make learning feel meaningful. I never feel like just another face in the crowd. At Blue Oak, every voice matters. There’s a kindness and warmth in the way people treat each other here that you don’t find everywhere. I’ve learned so much, not just academically, but about who I am and who I want to be. I’m truly grateful every day to be a part of this school, and I know that the memories, lessons, and friendships I’ve made here will stay with me for a long time.

Blue Oak School has had such a big impact on my life. Blue Oak has taught me kindness, respect, and responsibility. Everyone at Blue Oak brings something to the table, whether it’s guitar skills, life skills, or math skills, making the most beautiful and diverse community I could hope for. Each experience I’ve had here has not only brought me great knowledge but has also given me the life skills that will guide me throughout my whole life. Blue Oak has taught me more than just academics and life skills, but that I belong. I could never ask for a better place to grow and learn.
