“A light to oneself, a light to the world”

Our Theme for the 2024-25 School Year

Each year, Oak Grove selects an annual theme based on the teachings of our founder, J. Krishnamurti, as a provocation for classroom inquiry, professional development for staff, weekly K Discussions, and as inspiration for events like the Annual Fundraising Tea. Our theme for the 2024-25 school year is “A Light to Oneself, A Light to the World.”

“One must be free to be completely a light to oneself. You understand? A light to oneself. And this light cannot be given by another, nor can you light it at the candle of another. If you light it at the candle of another it is just a candle, it can be blown out. But whereas if we could find out what it means to be a light to oneself then that very investigation of it is partly meditation.”

— J. Krishnamurti
Saanen, Switzerland 1976

Theme Week

Each Spring, Theme Week is an opportunity for us, as a community, to circle back to the theme and to, perhaps, deepen our exploration into the intent of the school and the teachings of Krishnamurti.

An Oasis?

Head of School, News
Certainly, this is a place where the children are seen and known, a place where adults and children ask meaningful questions together and individually without the limits of an answer. But is this an oasis?

What if animals had jobs? 🐼👩‍⚕️🦊⚖ What if animals had jobs? 🐼👩‍⚕️🦊⚖️🐰👩‍🍳

Last week, our fourth grade students brought this imaginative question to life through research, writing, and creativity. Each student selected an animal and a profession, then crafted a detailed report and a diorama scene to illustrate their vision.

Among the inspired combinations: a paramedic panda, a bakery-owning bunny, a fox archaeologist, a panther in the courtroom, a monkey business owner, an artist dog, a wolf actor (in sheep’s clothing, of course), an elephant boutique owner, and a sea otter lifeguard.🐶👩‍🎨🐒👨🏽‍💼

Curiosity, humor, and thoughtful research made this project a true celebration of learning through imagination. 🐾✨
