Blue Rock School was the best choice I ever made for my son. He spent 9 amazing years learning, exploring and growing into a thoughtful, engaged young man and I give much of that credit to the wonderful caring staff and the school's hands-on approach to teaching. read more

Blue Rock is an exceptional school that creates an environment for each student to develop their own voice, build a sense of self and most importantly maintains the natural innocence of childhood so that children are able to fully develop into healthy, engaged and inspired people. Our 2 kids went to Blue Rock during 7th & 8th grades. We have a strong appreciation of the importance of the Blue Rock experience. Public schools have such an emphasis on grades and testing, which creates so much stress and anxiety associated with learning. Blue Rock builds a love for learning. read more

My daughter is in her 4th year at Blue Rock (kindergarten - third grade). She is beyond excited and happy to get in the car and drive to school every day. Which is saying a lot since we commute over 45 minutes a day each way. At pick up time as she bounces her way down the BRS front steps and into my car bursting with energy and excitement she recaps all of the interesting things she has done that day and I am always left smiling.Blue Rock School, to her, is second home, where she feels nurtured, safe & comfortable with herself always. And while every parent delights in their child's happiness, we also have concerns about academics and their future. I admit that I navigated through my daughters first 2 years with some trepidation; having attended highly competitive academic institutions my entire life I questioned if the BRS curriculum would be enough.But everyday I see my daughter fulfilled, happy and actually really learning amazing things! And the best part is she's not just memorizing a fact to regurgitate on a test, she is being enticed and excited into exploring & understanding new information which keeps her interested & an active participant in her own learning & development. Over the years I have also gotten to know several BRS graduates, as they tend to stay in touch with the school and attend events, and I make it a point to ask about transitioning to high school (public & private) & how they feel they are doing. I receive very positive responses - BRS graduates on a whole, from what I see, are flourishing. They are confident, capable and accomplished individuals who were lucky enough to be given the gift of a BRS Education, which gave them the foundation needed to really succeed. A place where education is not limited to evaluation by a letter or number, but rather encouraged through exploration and guided discovery. I am so grateful to the Blue Rock Community (educators, support staff & students/families) for contributing to the health, well being and development of my daughter and our family as a whole. read more
