A Message from
The Head of School
|
|
|
Letting kids fail is part of the learning process
Failure is not separate from learning. When a child fails, something essential happens — which we see if we are attentive. In this world of comparison, failure can turn into shame. We live in a culture that idolizes success and recoils at failure. This conditioning can seep into how we raise and educate our children. We may feel compelled to protect them, correct them, and shield them from disappointment, mistaking comfort for care.
|
|
When a child fails, it offers an opportunity for something sacred to occur. Not the polished version of life, but life as it is: uncertain, complex, and at times, painful.

Fifth Grade Field Trip
Apricot Lane Farms
|
|
|
Earlier this month, Oak Grove’s fifth grade students went on a field trip to Apricot Lane Farms, a regenerative farm in Ventura County.
|
|
Made famous through the documentary The Biggest Little Farm, this was Oak Grove’s first visit to the farm, which is known for its biodiversity and innovative, regenerative farming practices. “It felt like a really natural fit,” says Sage, Oak Grove’s fifth grade teacher. “So much of what we’re studying is alive on that land.”

The Robles Family
Why We Give
|
|
|
When we first set our feet upon the campus of Oak Grove School, we felt an instant knowing. This was over three years ago, when we were searching for our daughter’s future high school. On that day, each of us anticipated that our search was over and that we had finally found the school that aligned with our values.
