Oak Grove School
Middle School Environmental Studies
At Oak Grove School the Arts of Living and Learning are ingrained in our culture, curriculum, classroom practice, and expectations of student learning. And one of the key elements of the Arts of Living and Learning is our relationship to the environment.
We understand that if we empower our students to develop a strong relationship with nature, they will come to understand their responsibility to the environment. They will learn to love nature and intrinsically want to protect our planet through active stewardship and responsibility for the environment.

The Urgency of Change
In-person Program
April 12-14
If you ever question life, you might realize that most questions spur from a sense of deep disturbance about what is happening with you and the rest of the world. So a delicate, sensitive, and earnest person would ask the inevitable, "How is one to live in this world?"
Perhaps, there is no formula to follow, but definitely, there is a living that is right and harmonious. What is that living? Is it practical and not ensconced in some fairy tales? Based on the teachings of J. Krishnamurti, let’s consider it and explore. The exploration will include K videos, dialogues, and some other self-discovery activities. |

Action Not of Our Own
Online Program
March 18-22
Krishnamurti spoke of direct or complete contact, in which lies the possibility of real action or change. Might this point to the immediacy of what is happening in us in this moment; in which there is just our inner conflict moving, the wordless fact of it, without a demand to do something about it? An intimacy with what is happening in us, in which we are not separate from it. Perhaps this immediacy is its own action unasked for, in which inward conflict/resisting reveals its true nature. Is this revealing the real source of understanding?
Can we find out for ourselves firsthand what all this refers to, experiment with it? Maybe it doesn’t involve any time at all.
