Schools

Education is for all-around liberation: physical, psychic and spiritual.

The guiding philosophy of Ananda Marga schools is Neohumanist Education. Neohumanism is the philosophy of the innate oneness of all things. Studying about the “web of life” helps one to understand the interconnections between self, others and the natural environment.

Neohumanist Education fosters love and respect for all, regardless of culture, religion, race or nationality, and for animals and plants and the earth’s ecosystems. Children learn these principles both through lessons and teacher modeling, as well as through developing their own intuitional feeling about the interconnectedness of all things.

Aims and Ideals of Neohumanist Education

• To develop the full potential of each child: physical, mental and spiritual.
• To awaken a thirst for knowledge and love of learning.
• To equip students with academic and other skills necessary for higher education.
• To facilitate personal growth in areas such as morality, integrity, self-confidence, self-discipline and cooperation.
• To develop physical wellbeing and mental capabilities through yoga and concentration techniques, sports and play.
• To develop a sense of aesthetics and appreciation of culture through drama, dance, music and art.
• To encourage students to become active and responsible members of society.
• To promote an awareness of ecology in its broadest sense (i.e. the realization of the inter-relatedness of all things) and to encourage respect and care for all living beings.
• To encourage a universal outlook, free from discrimination based on religion, race, creed or gender.
• To recognize the importance of teachers and parents in setting an example.
