Blue Oak School is an independent school in Napa, California. The building was originally built in 1909, and called the Washington Primary School, in the 1950s, it became the Napa County Offices, and it was renovated in 2002 and renamed Blue Oak School by Lisa Cort and Tracy Schuler wife of Barry Schuler) (they are still currently on the board of trustees and their children attend the school). The current Head of School is Scott Duyan.
The Blue Oak School is a non profit, independent school for kindergarten-eighth grade. The School emphasizes authentic assessment, and small class size. Students exercise all subjects in very progressive ways. The school also teaches progressive education with tours, and other programs.
Students practice things such as performing the annual Pageant of the Masters school show (modeled after the Pageant of the Masters production in Laguna Beach, California) in music and art, and producing and selling items in the school farmers market, held twice a semester.
Blue Oak School also includes after school classes, such as the "Soundwaves" and "Encore" choirs, directed by Kimberly Markovich (Music Teacher), which are open to students in other schools around the area. Other after school classes vary from Fantasy Art to Writing to Yoga.
