About
The Blue School Story
For sixteen years, Blue School was an innovative independent school for students, age 2 through grade 8, located in lower Manhattan. Founded by the Blue Man Group to create an educational experience that fostered creativity, academic challenge, and socio-emotional learning. The school closed In June 2023, but the community of educators and families who believe in the undeniable capacity of children lives on. We know that an education that balances academic mastery, self and social intelligence, and creative thinking results in capable, compassionate, joyful young people. We are grateful for the time we had together and the ways we grew and learned together.
Blue School Principles
Blue School reimagined education for a changing world, aiming to develop and share an inquiry-based approach to education that would foster creativity, promote academic excellence, nurture human relationships and inspire a passion for learning.
Blue School’s vision of a more complete, balanced and exuberant approach to education prepared students to be adaptable thinkers, collaborative problem solvers, and courageous innovators. Balancing academic mastery, self and social intelligence, and creative thinking, Blue School celebrated each child for the individual they are, honored what they brought into the classroom every day, and helped them develop their unique voice.
