The summer Leadership Retreat is vital to our team’s ability to lead in a meaningful, heartfelt, and capable way that is centered on our students.
More than just the financial numbers, our Annual Report is a magazine-style publication filled with stories, letters, news, and donor gratitude.
For his senior Pathless Project, Surya Pulipati ’24 made a short documentary about changes at Oak Grove School including interviews with former and current teachers and administrators.
At the start of the summer, four of our faculty and staff members traveled to Switzerland to attend the 2024 Mürren International Gathering around the work of J. Krishnamurti.
Families, staff, alumni, and friends gathered to commemorate the class of 2024. Enjoy video of the commencement ceremony and photos from the day.
Each year, 8th and 12th grade students embark on capstone projects each year that lead them away from the classroom and into the world beyond.
Student articles, essays, and opinion pieces include submissions on food production, our environment, local restaurants, school sports, rocket launches, and more. Find poetry and art from across all grade levels and enjoy student riddles and games!
Career Night is one example of how community members play a pivotal role as mentors and role models in our students’ educational foundation.
Our inaugural Theme Week looked at our theme for the school year: The Wholeness of Responsibility through the lens of social justice.
This Spring we sadly bid farewell to Roger Edwin Mark Lee, the Founding Director of our school and an ardent guardian of J. Krishnamurti’s legacy.

Founded by philosopher and educator J. Krishnamurti, Oak Grove is built around a distinctive approach to education—one that pairs strong academics with inquiry, self-awareness, relationship, and an exploration of what it means to live intelligently and responsibly in the world.
Campus tours are now open for families interested in Preschool through High School. We invite you to experience Oak Grove in person, explore our campus, learn more about our programs and educational approach, and ask questions about what an Oak Grove education might look like for your family.
Prospective families are also invited to our Open House & All School Showcase on Saturday, November 7, from 1–4 PM. Explore the campus, meet faculty, visit open classrooms and student exhibits, and get a feel for the Oak Grove community.
Learn more about our admissions process and timeline, schedule a tour, RSVP for Open House, or begin an application at oakgroveschool.org.

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
