“I’ll be your friend!”
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“You can have some of my Play-Doh.”
“Excuse me.”

Simple words, but important lessons. In kindergarten, the work of a 4 and 5 year old is to play, explore, learn, and practice being a good student and a good friend.

And that’s exactly what our River Oak kindergarteners are doing in these first few weeks. They are learning to share, listen, help, connect, and care for one another.

We love watching our little community grow!

We’re off to a joyful start to the 2026–27 school year, welcoming 44 new students to our TK–8th Charter School. Our new TK and Kindergarten classrooms are settling into their rhythms filled with movement, play, exploration, and wonder.

We’re so grateful for our families’ support and communication as we begin another year together. Here’s to a beautiful year ahead! ❤️

Each year, our 8th grade self-portraits offer a beautiful glimpse into the individuality of each student and their unique gifts, perspectives, and unfolding journeys. More than works of art, these portraits embody the developing mind, body, and spirit of each young person, reflecting the essence of who they are at this important threshold.

In Waldorf education, every child is deeply seen, known, and honored. Today, as we celebrate our graduating 8th graders, we recognize not only their academic accomplishments, but also the remarkable human beings they have become.

This evening, these students will cross the bridge from middle school into their next chapter- high school and beyond. We are filled with gratitude for the years we have shared, the growth we have witnessed, and the memories we have created together.

River Oak is incredibly proud of each and every one of you. It has been an honor to walk alongside you on your journey. May you carry your curiosity, courage, creativity, and compassion into all that lies ahead.

Congratulations, Class of 2026 🌹

May Day at River Oak was pure magic 🌸✨ From our kindergarteners to eighth graders, students danced joyfully around the Maypole, welcoming spring with color, music, and movement, just as Waldorf traditions invite us to do.

We’re so grateful for our incredible families who helped bring this celebration to life in so many ways. From preparing food, setting up, hosting raffles, donating items, selling tickets, and more. Your contributions truly support the heart of our school and its mission.

Wishing everyone a beautiful, joyful spring weekend 💐

Fifth grade took learning beyond the classroom and into the heart of downtown Ukiah 🎨

Our students started their walking field trip at , where they explored a gallery featuring artist William Shi, a graduate of The Developing Virtue Boys School. From there, they continued on to the to experience a special exhibit showcasing artists’ interpretations of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night.

Along the way, students observed, discussed, and took notes on the different artistic mediums and techniques they encountered bringing their classroom studies to life in a meaningful, real-world way.

We’re so grateful for the vibrant local art scene here in Ukiah. Creativity is everywhere in our community, and at our school, art is deeply woven into our Waldorf-inspired curriculum every single day 💛🖌️
