What began 50 years ago, with just a few children and teachers sitting cross-legged in the grass, has blossomed into a vibrant, thriving community.
Join Us May 16-17, 2026! Our 50th anniversary events will be open to anyone who has been part of the Oak Grove School community over the past 50 years – everyone is welcome.
For Maia, Oak Grove offered a dramatic shift: a smaller, creative, and deeply supportive environment where individuality was not only accepted, but celebrated.
Thank you to all our former students, staff, and friends of Oak Grove who joined us at our 2025 Alumni Gathering on campus.
Families, staff, alumni, and friends gathered to commemorate the class of 2025. Enjoy video of the commencement ceremony and photos from the day.
The Class of 2025 shares their experiences in India, a trip that exemplifies how Oak Grove students gradually travel further away on increasingly more challenging journeys.
Oak Grove’s current High School Social Studies teacher Andy Gilman, a long-standing community leader in Ojai, has won his candidacy for mayor of Ojai!
Eric worked as a communications director and senior advisor on Capitol Hill before returning to California to join the USC Rossier School of Education.
After studying and traveling the world, she is back in Ojai and runs her company Springer, which develops innovative products for pets.
Malika attended Oak Grove from 1984 to 1990 when she graduated as the school’s first Black student and first OGS class to travel to India. She currently lives in Mississippi, where she works as a college counselor and independent educational consultant.
