The Ojai Valley
Nestled in a serene valley surrounded by the Topatopa Mountains, Ojai is a place where learning, nature, and community come together in profound and lasting ways. With warm spring and fall months and mild winters, Ojai invites exploration of the outdoors year-round—an ideal backdrop for our students to grow, learn, and connect beyond the classroom.Whether hiking through chaparral-covered hills, studying under majestic oaks, or engaging in hands-on environmental projects, students are immersed in experiences that tie them deeply to their natural surroundings and our greater community. Our students volunteer at local senior living homes, help out on sustainable farms, tutor children at the public library, and lend a hand at the annual Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament. These connections build a strong sense of belonging and purpose, enriching both our students and our community.Come visit and see what makes Ojai—and Thacher—so special. -
