  • Every morning the children chant Sanskrit prayers in front of the deities of Krishna-Balaram and afterwards there are lessons that include meditation and yoga.

    They study the national curriculum, but also tend the garden and learn concepts such as the equality of all living things. Multiculturalism forms an important part of the School’s philosophy, and they already have strong ties with other schools. The heart of the School’s ethos is harmony with the environment, which includes the building, landscape, curriculum and even school meals.
