Part of the mission of the KFA is "establishing, organizing and holding classes, lectures, courses, schools, seminars and study groups for the exploration of [Krishnamurti's] teachings." The principal ways this is accomplished are:

Oak Grove School, operating according to the intent of Krishnamurti, who founded the school in 1975. Oak Grove School is located in Ojai, California and spans pre-K through grade 12, with a high school boarding capacity. Current enrollment is over 200 students.

Dialogue Retreats, in which participants explore topics through inquiry and observation.

Krishnamurti Publications, which includes collaborative projects between the KFA and its sister foundations in the UK and India. Publishing encompasses books, CDs, DVDs, foreign translations, and the current expansion of materials offered via the internet, through www.jkrishnamurti.org. K Publications includes several online book stores.

Pepper Tree Retreat and Education Center - The Retreat provides quiet accommodations for any individual, couple, or small group wanting to enjoy the beauty of Ojai in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Pine Cottage, next door to the Retreat, contains the Krishnamurti Libary, and hosts speaker panels, dialogue groups, conferences, and study programs within a context of cooperative, shared inquiry into the fundamental questions of human life. The Retreat and Pine Cottage grounds and facilities are available to groups interested in holding events that correspond with the intent and quietness of the facilities.

Summer Study Programs, two fully-immersive, residential study programs designed for adults and college students interested in an in-depth exploration and penetrating inquiry into the core essentials of Krishnamurti's teachings.

Teaching Academy offers experienced educators and students of education the opportunity to explore the possibility of what Krishnamurti calls a revolution in education, a revolution that emphasizes self-understanding on the part of both teacher and student.
