My time at Oak Grove reinforced a lesson that had begun at Rishi Valley: Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone.

The school’s emphasis on inquiry, autonomy, and relationship continues to influence how she thinks about learning today.

The work of liberation calls us to listen deeply, learn continuously, & dismantle racism & the structures that perpetuate inequality and oppression.

Families, staff, alumni, and friends gathered to commemorate the class of 2025. Enjoy video of the commencement ceremony and photos from the day.

Oak Grove School’s 50th Anniversary weekend was more than a celebration of a milestone. It was a living expression of our community.

This Spring, we had the pleasure of welcoming two longtime friends of Oak Grove to experience campus and our students.

During a recent Spring weekend, a group of our high school and 8th grade students backpacked up Horn Canyon to The Pines campground for a weekend of fun and community service.

“More than 50 years ago, in the spring of 1975, Fred Hall, then editor of the Ojai Valley News, asked philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti a simple but pointed question: In a valley already full of public and private schools, why start another one?”

Join us for a weekend of connection, reflection, and celebration with all those who have helped shape our community over the years.
