Visiting Blue Oak

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

Admission tours and Open House events are crafted to provide families a deep understanding of progressive education in action. During your visit, you’ll witness students engaging in collaborative and innovative activities, completing daily jobs to support our greater school community, and tackling rigorous academics.

On our Lower School campus you will hear the joyful sounds of children sharing a great book with a friend, see them expressing themselves through their art, and feel the vibrant rhythms of African drumsfrom our music class. Our progressive middle school program further expands on these foundations, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning that prepares students for a dynamic future. You will witness students thoughtfully debate current events, discuss monumental moments in history, partake in hands-on science experients and challenge themselves to deepen their understanding of mathematic processes and theory.

And that’s just a glimpse of the Blue Oak experience! Join us and see how Blue Oak School ignites curiosity and nurtures every child’s potential.

Campus Tours

Blue Oak School is the only accredited independent school in Napa Valley. We believe children learn best when they feel inspired, and support our students in developing a genuine love for lifelong learning. This goes outside of academics to include empathy, kindness, and respect for others.

If this sounds like the kind of learning environment you are seeking for your child/children, come see us 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 weekly on Wednesdays from 9:00-10:30am beginning in October. Click here to request a Wednesday tour. Once you complete the tour request form, you will receive a confirmation email from the admissions office.

Open House Programs

Open House programs provide the whole family with an opportunity to meet the Head of School, our incredible teachers, current students, and our parents community. We look forward to welcoming your family into our school community to spend time touring both our Lower School and Middle School campuses. Your family will have the opportunity to immerse yourselves in our curriculum through hands on activities with tours hosted by our very own middle school students. We look forward to sharing the Blue Oak difference with you!
