A Light to Oneself, A Light to the World
Our theme for the 2024/25 school year
Each year we choose a school theme as a way to frame our ongoing inquiry into the intent of the school as articulated by our founder, J Krishnamurti. The following is a short video based on this year’s theme, “A Light to Oneself, A Light to the World,” produced for our Annual Fundraising Tea.
