“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.

Authority in the Classroom

Blog, News, Staff & Faculty
even and a half years ago, I started my first day of teaching at Oak Grove School. I had spent the summer lesson planning, figuring out how to adjust from teaching 40 students a class to teaching 12 to 16. As 8:00am approached, I put on my game…

High School students created a set of community ag High School students created a set of community agreements after reflecting on the following questions:

1) What do I need from my peers and teachers to learn?
2) What will I contribute to the high school community?
3) What do I need from others to feel safe at school (emotionally, physically and mentally)?

Simplified into a word cloud helps visualize words/phrases that were shared more often while recognizing every voice as equally significant. Inquiring into and reflecting on these questions together is one step toward creating an atmosphere in the school where teachers are learners and students are seen and heard, as we begin a new school year together.
