This month I traveled to New York City, meeting with alumni and longtime Oak Grove donors. Seeing how our alumni carry Oak Grove into the world, I am reminded of the deep roots our school has nurtured over fifty years.
As autumn paints our school garden with vibrant hues, we’re thrilled to share the heartfelt, organic magic unfolding in our outdoor gardens. The children’s creativity and connection to nature are blooming!
Peace Week invites our students and staff to explore the notion of peace in their own lives and in our shared world.
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, as we mark our 50th, we chose the theme The Art of Living and Learning. Krishnamurti said that true learning begins with direct observation of “what is,” free from judgment or distortion – a clear attention unclouded by fear, comparison, or the pressure to become.
We’re thrilled to share the latest from our school garden program, a heartfelt space where our community connects with nature and each other.
More than just the financial numbers, our Annual Report is a magazine-style publication filled with stories, letters, news, and donor gratitude.
What began 50 years ago, with just a few children and teachers sitting cross-legged in the grass, has blossomed into a vibrant, thriving community.
Join Us May 16-17, 2026! Our 50th anniversary events will be open to anyone who has been part of the Oak Grove School community over the past 50 years – everyone is welcome.
From joyful skips to heartfelt hugs, and high-fives flying everywhere, it was wonderful to see the community together again. This year is extra special as we celebrate Oak Grove’s 50th anniversary — a milestone that makes today’s beginning even brighter.
