Thank you to all parents, volunteers, students, teachers, staff, board members, and alumni for coming together to make our Annual Fundraising Tea a success.
A tree’s life can be read in the circles of its rings. Each year held within the next, not separate, but part of a living whole. Oak Grove has grown in much the same way. With each passing year, another ring is added, and our circle widens, shaped by the care and commitment of this community.
This Spring, we had the pleasure of welcoming two longtime friends of Oak Grove to experience campus and our students.
Ahead of this year’s Day of Reading launch, Oak Grove students voted to support the local non-profit Ojai Raptor Center.
In today’s fast-paced, screen-filled world, Oak Grove stands out as a breath of fresh air: a low-tech space focused on outdoor learning, mindfulness, and real connections.
We support Oak Grove because we know just how transformative its education can be for students and the wider world. It is a place where students can learn more than just the content of traditional subjects.
Our time here is limited, but perhaps if we can help the school to thrive in our own way, then we can trust that our small gifts will be amplified through the larger efforts of the community.
Supporting Oak Grove is easily a priority for us because we have witnessed first hand its impact on our son, his classmates, and the student body; on personal development and critical thinking; on self-confidence, patience, and understanding.
We feel strongly that the world needs more places like this. Krishnamurti talked about education and “the flowering of goodness.” That is a perfect way of explaining what we see in the students all around this campus.
Watching our children learn and grow on this campus is something we will forever be grateful for.
