Spiritual Program
As a religious school Bhaktivedanta Academy prioritizes the practice of spiritual life alongside its regular academic curriculum through the following practices:
*Every morning the school day begins with the older students reciting a Vedic mantra in unison to help focus everyones energy on the work ahead. This is also a time when students and staff discuss the Quality of the Month.
*Once they are in their respective classrooms the students start the day with spiritual activities consisting of chanting deity worship and study of scripture. The nature of these activities in each Bhavan is tailored to the maturity and understanding of the respective age groups.
*Throughout the day the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness and Vaisnava character development are stressed through the choice of students reading and writing assignments through relating modern history and science to the Vedic version and through highlighting examples of 12 quintessential devotional qualities taken from Srila Prabhupadas books.
*On special occasions such as Festivals Appearance Days and other devotional events students have the opportunity to engage in thematic games bhajans and projects sometimes including a performance at the temple
*Outside school hours we strongly encourage parents to bring their children to the temple morning program particularly deity greeting and Srila Prabhupadas guru puja.
