The Art of Living and Learning

The Art of Living & Learning

Head of School, News
This year, as we mark our 50th, we chose the theme The Art of Living and Learning. Krishnamurti said that true learning begins with direct observation of “what is,” free from judgment or distortion – a clear attention unclouded by fear, comparison, or the pressure to become.

Tonight at 6:30 doors open for the last movie of @ Tonight at 6:30 doors open for the last movie of @ojaifilmsociety Free Summer Series at the Libbey Bowl. The classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind is rated by Common Sense Media for children  8+ . 

From their website (commonsensemedia.org), here's what they say "parents need to know":

Parents need to know that director Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind is ultimately an uplifting, optimistic story with themes of perseverance and humility, but it has many scary, spooky moments before the aliens' exact nature is revealed. To a mother's horror, her toddler son disappears, becoming a captive of unknown villains. Earth is enveloped by strange events: electrical storms, unexplained shaking, and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). A house is attacked by mysterious forces; dead animals appear on quiet country roads. A loving father is faced with losing his family because of his obsession/conviction. Scattered curse words include "hell," "s--t," and "bastard." Members of the military are mostly portrayed as unsympathetic and authoritarian, while scientists are characterized as open-minded, trusting, and intelligent.

THANK YOU Ojai Film Society for bringing this free series to our Ojai community. Seeya at the movies!

This week, we joined communities worldwide in reco This week, we joined communities worldwide in recognizing the International Day of Peace. At Oak Grove, we extend this observance into an entire Peace Week, inviting our students and staff to explore the notion of peace in their own lives and in our shared world. 

Throughout the week, classrooms wove peace into the curriculum, and students collaborated in creating a Peace Tree art installation – a living reminder that peace requires our collective care. Today,  we gathered for an all-school assembly and in our lizard groups to celebrate our reflections together in poetry, play, crafts, art, and music. ☮️

We started our week by celebrating Oak Grove’s 5 We started our week by celebrating Oak Grove’s 50th trip around the sun! We sang a birthday song and made a giant “50” on the field. We enjoyed pizza and homemade cupcakes from the kitchen. The 50-year-old Ash tree was there to witness it all. Students wrote birthday wishes together and hung them around the tree, along with some big hugs. Thanks to everyone for making it such a special day! ❤️🦎🎉
