Visiting Blue Oak

There is nothing quite like experiencing Blue Oak School first-hand.

Our Admission Tours and Open House events provide families with a meaningful glimpse into daily life at Blue Oak School. You’ll observe students actively engaged in purposeful, hands-on learning—collaborating with peers, approaching real-world challenges, and participating in routines that build responsibility and connection within our community.

On our Lower School campus, you’ll see young learners exploring stories with classmates, expressing their ideas through art, and bringing music to life. In our Middle School, students deepen their academic skills through critical thinking, thoughtful discussion, hands-on experiments, and inquiry-driven math—preparing them to navigate an ever-changing world with confidence and curiosity.

This is more than a school—it’s a place where curiosity is sparked, students are known and celebrated, and learning extends far beyond the classroom. We invite you to visit and discover how Blue Oak nurtures each child’s potential and prepares them to thrive.

Campus Tours

Blue Oak School is Napa Valley’s only accredited independent school (CAIS, NAIS, WASC), offering a TK–8 education that nurtures the whole child. We believe students learn best when they feel seen, supported, and inspired. Our approach fosters not only academic curiosity, but also empathy, kindness, and respect—helping students grow into confident learners and compassionate members of their community.

If this is the kind of learning environment you envision for your child, we invite you to visit and experience Blue Oak in action. Tours last approximately 90 minutes and are for adults only. To sign up for a tour, please complete this form  or call (707) 261-4500. When you sign up, please indicate if you are interested in touring both the lower school campus and the middle campus, or just one. 

Group tours are available weekly on Wednesdays from 9:00-10:30a. Click here to request a Wednesday tour. You will receive a confirmation email from the admissions office upon completion.

Open House Programs

Our Open House events offer the whole family an opportunity to meet school leadership, connect with our dedicated teachers, students, and parent community, and explore both our Lower and Middle School campuses. Families can experience our curriculum firsthand through interactive activities and student-led tours, providing an authentic glimpse into what makes Blue Oak School unique. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing The Blue Oak Difference.
