Sitting in the morning sunlight, standing on a ridge with students, their parents, and two colleagues 1600 feet above Ojai. We are listening to the story of Tonantzin told by a young mother with her infant snuggling in a rebozo on her chest.
Oak Grove School’s 50th Anniversary weekend was more than a celebration of a milestone. It was a living expression of our community.
Research continues to affirm that quiet, unstructured moments, even moments that feel boring, are not empty. They are essential.
In our most recent outdoor activity, students and teachers had the unique privilege of immersing themselves in the rich natural environment of Ojai’s hidden gem, Taft Gardens.
Children learn continuously, drinking in the world through their senses, then work to make sense of their experiences.
Fifth graders visited Apricot Lane Farms, exploring regenerative polyculture systems, which work with nature rather than against it.
By integrating literature, history, geography, art, and science, this experience of visiting the Channel Islands helps students to build a deeper understanding of the world around them.
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.
Our inaugural Theme Week looked at our theme for the school year: The Wholeness of Responsibility through the lens of social justice.
Sixth graders luck out with some amazing weather during their Spring field trip to Catalina Island!

Through fieldwork, guest speakers, and classroom learning, students are excited to explore our local ecology while contributing to the Conservancy’s work through service learning. ❤️ 🐢
