Give
We have all seen the meaningful impact an OVS education has in the lives of students. Through our unique focus on wholeness of life, OVS inspires young learners to think big, collaborate well, and give back to the world around them. We ask you to do the same bold giving in support of this special school.
The OVS Annual Fund is the primary source of support for our operating budget aside from tuition. Like at most independent schools, tuition covers about 80 percent of the cost of an OVS education. The Annual Fund supplements tuition revenue to make our budget whole.
Regardless of size, your gift will benefit the school community in a significant way, helping support experiential learning, faculty professional development, outdoor education, athletics, and more.
OVS Alumni Challenge
All former students have a special role in helping perpetuate the school’s vital role today. We ask you to participate in the 2025-26 Alumni Challenge, which is simple: We challenge each class up through 2010 to donate at least $10,000 (collectively as a class); we challenge classes from 2011 to 2015 to donate at least $5,000; we challenge classes from 2016 to 2020 to donate at least $2,500; and we challenge classes from 2020 to 2025 to donate an amount significant to you.
Be sure to join us at Alumni Weekend, June 5-7, 2026, to celebrate!
Donor clubs recognize supporters who make significant gifts to OVS at levels named for beautiful Ojai sites where generations of students have found joy and inspiration.
