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.
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.
