Sir Ken Robinson, of my all-time favorite TED Talk, Do schools kill creativity? (if you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend you do) has teamed up with the original Blue Men of Blue Man Group to create a new kind of school—one that embraces creativity by letting students explore and select their own interests while learning through music, movement, drama, visual arts, drama, media arts, technology and field trips to explore New York City culture. The catch—the school is currently only taking applications for first grade and younger, due today in order to get in next fall (looks like I'm too old for this one). As for tuition, that's going to set you back $27,300.
But imagine what these kids will be creating when they get older.
