As we enjoy our three-day weekend, it is important to think about what it is we commemorate and celebrate on Indigenous Peoples Day. Historically, Americans have not learned much that is authentic about the people who lived on these lands before, during, and after the arrival of the Europeans, and we seek to change this narrative at Oak Grove.

Ali Danch, our Director of Pastoral Care, School Counselor, and Parent Education Coordinator, talks about our recent and upcoming Age & Stage meetings.

Our theme for the 2024-25 school year, based on the teachings of our founder, J. Krishnamurti, is “A Light to Oneself, A Light to the World.”

In this Oak Grove School update, Head of School Jodi Grass explains how, as of this year, Oak Grove is 49 years old and is showing all the signs of a healthy middle adulthood.

We acknowledge Peace Day with a week-long exploration into the notion of peace and culminating in a Peace Day assembly and Lizard Group fun.

Letters of intent are communications that teachers write to families at the beginning of the school year which share their beliefs about children’s competence, identify key concepts that children will be learning, and reflect on the local and global community.

Oak Grove School’s Age & Stage Booklet provides a snapshot of child development recognizing that development unfolds in separate, predictable stages and is a measure of individuality, not conformity.

“For me, donations to Oak Grove are more than just a financial contribution; they are an investment in a brighter, more thoughtful future.”

Oak Grove senior Arianna M. was recognized for her environmental stewardship and dedication to protecting public health in Ventura County.

Our campus became alive with excitement today as we said hello to our returning students and warmly welcomed the new faces joining us this year.
