What does one learn through Prajna?
Prajna is a values-based education program that connects children to their Vedic heritage while building real-world skills. Our mission is to give students meaningful knowledge; our vision is to preserve and share timeless cultural values.
Students explore Vedic traditions, customs, and practices, and learn prayers suited to different life situations. Alongside this, they build public speaking, leadership, and management skills — and develop a lasting sense of service, respect, and care for others and the natural world.

How the program is structured
Prajna follows a clear, age-appropriate curriculum built around authentic textbooks and hands-on workbook activities. Students study selected chapters of the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, and learn the stories of sages, seers, and teachers (acharyas). Classes also include yogasanas, meditation, bhajans (devotional songs), storytelling, and daily prayer practice.
