Living Wisdom Stories
Highlights from our school community.
Theater Magic - Life of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr
Theater Magic is more than a performance, it’s a core part of our curriculum. For an entire term, students step into the life of an extraordinary figure, bringing history, art, and self-expression together on stage.
This year’s production tells the story of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and the deeper strength that guided the Civil Rights Movement.
These moments capture what happens when students don’t just study history—they live it.
Middle School Adventure Week
Adventure Week brings middle school students together through outdoor challenge, shared work, and time in nature. Cooking meals, exploring together, and taking responsibility as a group helps students build connection and discover a deeper sense of meaning that carries into the school year.
K- 2 Ananda Valley Farm Visit
During a visit to Ananda Valley Farm, K–2 students planted, explored, and delighted in the small discoveries nature offers. Time outdoors brought out curiosity, joy, and a natural ease that comes from learning through direct experience.

In just 15 months, our powerlifting team has grown from one lifter to ten—now more than half the school. What began as one student’s commitment has become a strong team culture.
Training together throughout the week, every athlete earned gold at their first team competition this year, with Coach Keshava taking bronze. At Boss Barbell Club, students train alongside elite athletes, pushing their limits in a serious environment.
Experienced lifters now mentor newer teammates, strengthening both the team and their own understanding of the sport.
Their physical strength is impressive. More importantly, they are developing discipline, perseverance, and the ability to do hard things well—qualities that carry into every part of life.
Upper School Yosemite Trek
This Yosemite expedition asked a great deal of our upper school students. Hiking more than twenty miles in a single day, they moved together through challenge, fatigue, and moments of quiet determination. The experience offered more than physical accomplishment. It gave students a lived understanding of perseverance, teamwork, and their own capacity to meet demanding goals.
Upper School Fall Family Yoga Fest
At the Fall Family Yoga Fest at Ananda Village, upper school students supported the event from start to finish, assisting with setup, music, activities, and cleanup. Their shared effort helped create a joyful, welcoming gathering and gave students practical experience in service, teamwork, and shared responsibility.
