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
