We moved our kids from public school to Blue Oak and couldn't be happier with the change. The public school "teach to the test" approach was unavoidable and the teachers seemed resigned to worksheets and repetition. Blue Oak offers creativity, energy and a fresh view toward learning. We have been impressed with the way the teachers and staff have taken the time and energy to really look at, and tailor their approach to, our children's individual strengths and needs. Our kids are inspired to learn, use their imagination and think outside of the box. They're happy and enjoy school. The families, teachers, staff and administrators at Blue Oak are incredibly friendly and accessible, ready to answer any question or address any concern. We just wish we had decided to send our kids to Blue Oak sooner!
Love the direction the school is heading!! I have two girls attending in 4th grade and kindergarten. They LOVE coming to school and their teachers! Parents are VERY active and I could not imagin my family going anywhere else!
Having started our child in the public school system, we were very disappointed and frustrated with its mediocrity and "teach for the test" approach. In our search for change, in a town where there are very few nonsecular options to public school, Blue Oak was by far the best choice. Our daughter is challenged academically, supported socioemotionally and receiving a well-rounded education that includes art, music, drama, foreign langugage and physical education - all while exclaiming how much fun school is! BOS apparently had its growing pains and past difficulties, but it is very clear to us that the present administration and parent association have corrected their problems, with a clear vision for the future of the school. Blue Oak is a wonderful place, with an amazing staff and student/parent community. We cannot praise, nor recommend, Blue Oak highly enough.
We transferred both of our children to Blue Oak School at the beginning of the school year and could not be happier. They are thriving in the learning environment that has been created there. We have been warmly welcomed as a family and feel included and informed about all that happens in the school. I am shocked at the negative comments posted as this has not been our experience at all. We are delighted to be far away from overcrowded classrooms, uncaring administrators, rote learning and meaningless testing! Teachers at Blue Oak know their students and care enough to support them in everything that they do! I wish that every had the opportunity to attend a stellar program like Blue Oak..
