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.

Another inspiring and meaningful MLK Day. Thanks to High School students across the Ojai Valley @ojaiyouth, and to all who helped and participated in today`s event. ❤️ #MLKDay #peace #civilrights #justice #peacelikeariverinmysoul 🎶🎶
See you at Libbey Bowl tomorrow! 10am-1:30pm
This free event is organized by local high school students and sponsored by the Ojai Valley Youth Foundation and the City of Ojai. The event will feature student art, essays and poetry centered on this year’s theme, "Building a Beloved Community."
Thank you to the @ojaivalleyyouthfoundation and City of Ojai and all who make this wonderful event possible.
A book, a poem, singing together, and art projects. Today`s assembly in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. left our hearts full and imagining a more peaceful world.
MLK Day invites us to hold both urgency and hope. History shows us that change is slow, uneven, and often met with resistance. It also shows us that progress is real, that courage multiplies, and that new generations continue to insist on dignity and equity. The question is not whether change is possible, but whether we are willing to participate in it now.
Please join us for Ojai`s 26th Annual MLK Day Celebration on Monday 1/19 at Libbey Park from 10:00am - 1:30pm. The theme for this year is "Building a Beloved Community." Oak Grove`s younger students host a sing-along at 10:30am, and words shared from older students at 1pm.
