“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.

Today, we were delighted to welcome home our 9th a Today, we were delighted to welcome home our 9th and 10th-grade students and chaperones from their backpacking adventures in the Los Padres Forest and Sespe Wilderness this week! 🏕

At Oak Grove School, we nurture a deep connection with nature and travel throughout all grades. This is achieved through a carefully designed graduated sequence of trips. In High School, students embark on backpacking trips, explore the vibrant Southwest, and seniors embark on a transformative three-week journey to India. These experiences foster confidence, self-sufficiency, awareness, and an appreciation for the beauty and culture of the world. Most importantly, students develop a profound sense of self-knowledge through their interactions with nature and each other. 

No matter how amazing the trip, coming home is always one of the best parts! ❤️
