Our Diverse Community
Since the school’s founding, Blue Oak has been committed to providing a standout education to children of diverse backgrounds and interests.
At Blue Oak, we believe students and educators thrive in a diverse, welcoming community where people are respected for who they are and exposed to new perspectives. As a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), we uphold the shared Principles of Good Practice, which encourage full participation and respect for individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities.
At Blue Oak, we believe education empowers students to understand their role in the world and their connections to others. Our seven core strengths promote curiosity, critical thinking, and an appreciation for diverse perspectives—essential skills for contributing to a vibrant, inclusive community.
In the lower school, students explore how they are connected to their classmates, school, neighborhood, and beyond—building a foundation of belonging and social awareness. In middle school, inquiry-based learning challenges students to ask meaningful questions, analyze real-world problems, and collaborate to find solutions. By graduation, they are confident, capable learners who think critically, care deeply, and are ready to engage with the world around them.
