David Moody reflects on first day of Oak Grove School, September 15, 1975 at 8:30, on the upper portion of the back lawn at Arya Vihara, in the east end of the Ojai Valley.
This year’s 2025 KFA May Gathering panel discussion about Oak Grove School featured a Q&A session with attendees and virtual viewers.
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.”
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.
Each year, a guiding theme for the year is chosen. This theme provides opportunities, throughout the year, for our entire school community to reflect on a specific topic of discussion.
At the start of the summer, four of our faculty and staff members traveled to Switzerland to attend the 2024 Mürren International Gathering around the work of J. Krishnamurti.
This Spring we sadly bid farewell to Roger Edwin Mark Lee, the Founding Director of our school and an ardent guardian of J. Krishnamurti’s legacy.
The Class of 2024 shares their experiences in India, a trip that exemplifies how Oak Grove students gradually travel further away on increasingly more challenging journeys.

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.
