Blue Oak Charter School
At Blue Oak, our first priority is to provide an education that excites and interests the students. Our Waldorf-inspired/Common Core-based curriculum helps develop a lifelong love of learning and prepares each child for active & ethical citizenship, critical thinking, self-awareness, creative imagination, & social responsibility.
Science and Social Studies are interconnected with English, Math, Art, Music, and movement through storytelling. Kindergarten is play-based while the other classes loop, staying together with their teacher for 1st through 8th grade. This increases the teacher’s understanding of each student’s needs and builds the strength of relationships that last into high school and beyond. Specialty subjects include Spanish, Music, Handwork, Technology, and Games. Monthly tours are offered. See the beauty only a Waldorf-inspired education can provide.
