founders

In 1926, on a journey to the Ojai Valley with J. 克里希那穆提, D. Rajagopal, 罗莎琳德·威廉姆斯(Rajagopal), Fritz Kunz, 安妮Besant visited a vast area of pristine land. She envisioned this site as a place to establish an educational center that would nurture spiritual, bb电子试玩游戏, intellectual growth as well as physical and mental well-being. She also knew that sustainable worldwide improvement in the human condition begins with the individual. In 1927, she raised funds to secure nearly 520 acres in the Upper Ojai Valley. She appointed trustees to further her vision of a non-sectarian foundation, 不分种族, 信条, 性, 种姓, 或颜色,，她将其命名为欢乐谷基金会.

During WWII an unusual coalition of idealists, including 罗伯特·洛根, 路易Zalk, J. 克里希那穆提，拉贾戈帕尔，奥尔德斯·赫胥黎, Dr. 圭多Ferrando他们聚集在欧康. Recognizing the prescience of 安妮Besant’s educational concepts, they incorporated these into the core philosophy of the Happy Valley School (now called the 欢乐谷贝赞特山学校).

安妮Besant saw this land as a place where her ideals could be given form through activities in which the multiple aspects of culture would find expression. This has been realized with the creation of the Happy Valley Cultural Center.

名称的改变

为了纪念博士. 安妮Besant, founding member of 欢乐谷贝赞特山学校, the school underwent a name change to reflect its deep commitment to her visionary principles. Dr. Besant, 以倡导妇女权利而闻名, 神智学会主席, support for causes like freedom of thought and socialism, exemplified an unyielding commitment to progressive values. Renaming the school honored her legacy and underscored its dedication to education that reflects her influential legacy.

自2007年7月1日起，“欢乐谷贝赞特山学校” was made after a HVF Board driven initiative sought input from over 700 alumni, 父母, 和长久的朋友. The selection highlighted the truly remarkable visionary and public servant, 安妮Besant, who raised the funds for the 1927 purchase of the 520 acres in Upper Ojai, who firmly believed this breathtaking land would be the cradle of and model for the “new civilization of education,” where improvement in human history begins with the individual who knows how to think, 而不是去想什么, with a culture embracing interrelationship: self to self, 对人类, 到地球上去, 为了科学进步.

This name selection was deemed to authentically reflect and honor our history, our past and the principles formulated by the founders. It was felt that by honoring Annie we not only honor her but also honor and reaffirm a future she predicted, which today’s administration and board are committed to fulfill. The selection was felt to be a win-win for both our alumni and our prospective students and families.

土地本身, the 520 acres owned by the Happy Valley Foundation, is 并将 forever be known as the Happy Valley.

Dr. 安妮Besant

“教育的目的到底是什么?? 锻炼身体使身体健康, 活力与优雅, so that it may express the emotions in 美 and the mind with accuracy and strength.”

Jiddu克里希那穆提

“教育永无止境. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.”

奥尔德斯·赫胥黎

Our purpose is to teach our students to wish to go on educating themselves. And for our graduates our valedictory wishes can be summed up in a single phrase: May you go on Learning! (Aún Aprendo - I am Still Learning)

Dr. 圭多Ferrando

“The Happy Valley must be a nursery for that true peace, 这只能通过理解来实现, 政府, 并将, through sympathy and not through domination…”

罗莎琳德Rajagopal

“We do not believe in education for a common mediocrity, nor even for a common excellence. We seek instead to cultivate in each person that excellence which is uniquely theirs.”

罗伯特·洛根

“不要太辛苦，也不要太担心……”

路易Zalk

“You are so busy running around, you never stop to think about matters that are important. 为什么要把你的精力浪费在这些废话上? 你为什么不开车去欧康, sit down under the walnut trees and spend time dealing with things which matter…life, 美, 来世? You will get an entirely different view of life.”
