The Stanford psychologist, Carol Dweck said: “If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning.” How can we extend this philosophy to our larger learning community of teachers, coaches, and staff members?
Our Fall camping trips are designed to bring the High School (9th-12th) and the Middle School (6th-8th grade) together early in the year to orient and integrate new and returning students and teachers.
For our first Lizard Talks series of the year, we welcomed Geetha Waters. Geetha, parent of Oak Grove School alum Jayson Waters ’10, is an educator and writer, who facilitates programs at the Krishnamurti Study Centre in Summer Hill, Australia.
Congratulations to our Second Grade Teacher Karen and Science Enrichment Teacher Eric, whose Roxaboxen student project won an IMPACT II award.
Enjoy video and photos from this year’s High School Spring Showcase highlighting student work in studio arts, ceramics, woodworking, & music.
Seeds of Belonging Ojai is an anti-bias/anti-racism initiative for early childhood educators and parents that aims to cultivate futures of understanding, accountability, accommodation, and respect among differences in the local community and in the world at large.
After months of rehearsal and countless hours put in by the Oak Grove Theater Team, student performers & crew members, as well as inexhaustible parent & caregiver volunteers, the curtain was finally raised on four delightful performances of Shrek the Musical.
About once a month, our high school students attend a Lizard Talk, where a guest speaker presents and shares knowledge on their subject of expertise.

Another inspiring and meaningful MLK Day. Thanks to High School students across the Ojai Valley @ojaiyouth, and to all who helped and participated in today`s event. ❤️ #MLKDay #peace #civilrights #justice #peacelikeariverinmysoul 🎶🎶
See you at Libbey Bowl tomorrow! 10am-1:30pm
This free event is organized by local high school students and sponsored by the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation and the City of Ojai. The event will feature student art, essays and poetry centered on this year’s theme, "Building a Beloved Community."
Thank you to the @ojaivalleyyouthfoundation and City of Ojai and all who make this wonderful event possible.
A book, a poem, singing together, and art projects. Today`s assembly in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. left our hearts full and imagining a more peaceful world.
MLK Day invites us to hold both urgency and hope. History shows us that change is slow, uneven, and often met with resistance. It also shows us that progress is real, that courage multiplies, and that new generations continue to insist on dignity and equity. The question is not whether change is possible, but whether we are willing to participate in it now.
Please join us for Ojai`s 26th Annual MLK Day Celebration on Monday 1/19 at Libbey Park from 10:00am - 1:30pm. The theme for this year is "Building a Beloved Community." Oak Grove`s younger students host a sing-along at 10:30am, and words shared from older students at 1pm.
