A children's school for Vedic Education and Teaching of Sanatana Dharma
CVA is our special program aimed at the most essential members of our community - our kids. In our sessions, we aim to impart the ancient practice of devotion, known as Bhakti, to children and teenagers. These young individuals are the future leaders, and we aspire to prepare them to be well-rounded and spiritually aware leaders for the community and the world. Our purpose is to nurture tomorrow's leaders with a thoughtful, spiritual, and scientific value system that helps them make wise choices in critical moments of their lives.
This initiative has been successfully implemented for the last 5 years. All of our educators are skilled in working with children and teenagers, engaging them in various age-appropriate activities.
The childrenโs school is dedicated to specializing in Vedic Education and the teachings of Sanatana Dharma, providing a comprehensive curriculum that goes beyond mere academics. This approach seeks to instill in students a deep understanding of the rich history of Sanatana Dharma, its core beliefs, and enduring values. By engaging in the teachings of ancient sages and scriptures, children are encouraged to explore how these timeless principles can be effectively woven into the fabric of their everyday lives.
In addition to the philosophical and ethical teachings, the school recognizes the significance of cultural heritage in shaping identity and character. Therefore, it places a strong emphasis on preserving and promoting the traditional culture and customs of India. Students learn about various festivals, rituals, and traditions that have been passed down through generations, fostering a sense of pride and belonging within their community. This cultural education is not merely theoretical; students actively participate in cultural events, presentations, and celebrations that bring these traditions to life and create lasting memories.
Moreover, the curriculum is designed to be holistic, addressing the all-around development of each student. To this end, the school offers a diverse and enriching array of extracurricular activities that complement the academic syllabus. Whether it is through arts and crafts, music and dance, sports, or environmental awareness programs, children are encouraged to explore their interests and talents. These activities not only promote creativity and teamwork but also help students build essential life skills such as leadership, communication, and resilience.
Additionally, the school's commitment to developing well-rounded individuals extends to instilling values of compassion and service in the students. Regular community service projects encourage children to give back to society, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy towards others. Through these experiences, students learn the importance of contributing to the welfare of their communities and the world at large.
In summation, the childrenโs school specializing in Vedic Education and Sanatana Dharma offers an integrated learning experience that combines academic rigor with cultural richness, personal growth, and social responsibility. By nurturing a deep connection to their heritage while equipping them with the tools to thrive in a modern world, the school prepares its students to become conscientious, thoughtful leaders of tomorrow.
The School operates every Sunday from 5:00 PM to 6:15 PM at the ISKCON Calgary Temple.
