Oak Grove School offers innovative early
childhood, elementary,
junior high school
programs, a college-preparatory high
school, and a family-style boarding program all nourished
by the educational vision of its founder, philosopher and educator
J. Krishnamurti. Small classes in a natural environment are
guided by experienced teachers who encourage discovery and inquiry
while supporting exceptional academic, creative and personal
growth.
From the winding, oak-shaded paths that meander through
the campus, to the intimate, wooden buildings designed to
harmonize with the natural landscape, Oak Grove School is
a visual oasis, a peaceful, yet dynamic environment rich with
opportunities for traditional and non-traditional learning.
Organic gardens, a student-built greenhouse, a studio art
building with a darkroom, ceramics and painting studios and
weaving looms, two libraries,
a recording studio, athletic fields, tennis courts, playgrounds
and a central Pavilion and outdoor stage dot the 150-acre
campus. Inside the Main House, with its brick fireplace, casual
gathering area and home-like kitchen, organic vegetarian meals
are lovingly prepared using fresh produce from the student
garden.
203 day and boarding students attend Oak Grove School.The
student to faculty ratio is 5:1, with an average class size
of 14. The school is fully accredited by the California Association
of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Western Association
of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Oak Grove School offers space
to grow, guidance to develop intellectually and creatively,
and support to help students understand themselves and the
world around them. It prepares its students for college, and
for life.
