Just a few highlights: High School Showcase, Open House, El Capitan Trip, Day of Reading, Back to School Night, Peace Day, Ojai Day, Harvest Party, Parent Work Day... and all of the wonderful things that happen in our classrooms every day. Thank you all for everything you do, with special thanks to our fantastic high school students and their amazing showcase that occurred Friday, December 3rd. What a treat!

Oak Grove School and Krishnamurti Foundation of America Annual Appeal
Financial Aid
Applications Now Available

A limited amount of financial aid is available for families with children from K through 12th grade who cannot afford full tuition. However, there are not sufficient funds to give aid to all who apply. Families receiving aid must re-apply each year. The school expects parents to give their child's education a very high priority in their financial planning.
 
Detailed information about the Financial Aid process is available on our website at www.oakgroveschool.com and in Main House. You may complete and submit your financial aid application online directly at sss.nais.org/parents.
 
Priority consideration will be given to applications received by the January 15, 2011 deadline.
