My son has attended Blue School since the 2's program, and he absolutely loves it! He is now in first grade, and over the course of five years, I have seen him develop a strong sense of self, a curious and investigative mind, and confidence with new endeavors. This is thanks to a learning environment that emphasizes creativity, social emotional learning, and a holistic education. Teachers here also truly know their students and meet them where they are, whether that means providing extra challenges or giving more nurturing support. It is a gem of a school!

Blue School is the most unique and dedicated place I've had the honor of working for. Throughout NYC I've worked in 15+ public, private and charter schools, and Blue School continues to surprise and impress me. The level of dedication from the faculty goes beyond anything I've seen, and it really shows in the investment the students have in their work. The poise and articulation that these children have from such a young age is unbelievable. Even at the age of 3 students are more socially aware and active than I've ever been as an adult, and as they rise through 4th-8th grade their level of maturity really skyrockets above many of their peers I've encountered at other institutions. The community at Blue School, particularly the students, gives me hope for positive and active change nationally and globally. I hope to one day be as knowledgeable and active in our society as these kids are!

We have a had a remarkable experience at Blue School. Our son (now in 5th) is engaged in ways we couldn't imagine until we experienced it. His excitement around academics (even math!) has been so amazing to see. It truly comes from him- he is alert about the world, and empathetic to his peers, a lot of this framework has come from the super teaching staff and the overall philosophy of learning at Blue. We get to see his progress through a lot of cool learning presentations, publishing parties and more. The school has fostered a strong respectful community of other caring and engaged parents and there is a real strength in the parent body- I can not recommend this school more. It is an expense for sure, but we believe it is worth it!
