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.
Each year, India Night is a special gathering for parents and the school community to come together to celebrate our senior class and hear their stories about their extraordinary trip.
Thank you to everyone for supporting Day of Reading!
All the activities Teton Science Schools plan for 7th and 8th grade students encourage them to work together and think critically about our human relationship with the natural world.
Written in the center of the display is the question, “How can I become a voice for kindness and fairness when someone is being treated unfairly?”
Ahead of this year’s Day of Reading launch, Oak Grove students voted to support the local non-profit Ojai Raptor Center.
A Parent Ed tech-talk to shine a light on youth mental health and discuss ways to support families and children in our modern tech culture.
Oak Grove’s Martin Luther King, Jr. all-school assembly, Lizard Group activities, and celebration in downtown Ojai provided thoughtful moments for our community to reflect on the values Dr. King championed: unity, progress, and shared responsibility.

Last weekend, a group of our high school and 8th grade students backpacked up Horn Canyon to The Pines campground on Friday evening and spent time continuing to restore the campground—pulling weeds, cutting back brush, leveling tent areas, and helping with general camp maintenance.
On Saturday afternoon, a group hiked up to the ridge and towards Chief’s Peak, enjoying incredible views of the Ojai Valley, and all the way out to the Channel Islands.
We headed back to town on Sunday morning with tired bodies, but energized souls.
It was a rewarding experience, a great adventure, and a lot of fun. We’re grateful for the students’ hard work and adventurous spirit, and we look forward to more opportunities for trips like this in the future.
Thanks to everyone who participated and supported!
