Families, staff, alumni, and friends gathered to commemorate the class of 2025. Enjoy video of the commencement ceremony and photos from the day.
Research continues to affirm that quiet, unstructured moments, even moments that feel boring, are not empty. They are essential.
Healthy communities aren’t free of conflict. They’re communities where people have the courage and clarity to speak honestly and listen deeply.
“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?”
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.
For all three Oak Grove educators, the experience reaffirmed their connection to Krishnamurti’s educational vision and strengthened their ties to the wider KFI network.
Peace Week invites our students and staff to explore the notion of peace in their own lives and in our shared world.

And that’s a wrap on summer! Faculty and staff returned to campus last week to prepare for the year, learn together, and delve into Oak Grove’s philosophy and this year’s theme, The Living Movement of Relationship.
Across campus, teachers and staff are putting the finishing touches on classrooms, preparing materials, refining plans, stocking shelves, and tending gardens. There is that unmistakable feeling of a school on the cusp of beginning.
We’re ready, and we can’t wait to welcome our students back tomorrow! 🧡🦎#onemoresleep #theartoflivingandlearning #jkrishnamurti
