EDUCATION FOR ALL

Ananda Marga believes that education is one of the five basic necessities in life. Therefore, all individuals should be given the opportunity to learn in an open-minded, ethical and progressive environment, regardless of economic status, religion, class, race or gender. Every school needs a guiding principle for its students, in the same way that every child needs a loving parent. At the Ananda Marga Kinder-prep. This principle is based on the philosophy of Neo-Humanism. Put simply, Neo-Humanism is the extension of the love we naturally feel toward other human beings to include animals, plants and all other forms of existence. Throughout each and every school day we work to develop the highest qualities of humanity; namely concern for others, compassionate love for all creation, spirit of service, thirst for knowledge and awareness/acceptance of diversity. We believe that Neo-Humanistic education is most effective when it begins at a very young age in primary and pre-school years, because this is the time when the child develops his/her indelible impressions of the world.
