Admissions to Maharishi School


Maharishi Free School is delighted that you are considering applying for a place for your child. We pride ourselves on offering an educational environment that is both nurturing and academically challenging.

To find out more about the unique benefits of Maharishi School we would encourage you to give us a call and arrange a visit. Our friendly staff will welcome you at a time of your convenience to have a tour, meet teachers and find out about Consciousness-based Education, or we may invite you to attend a Maharishi School Open Day.

 

Open Days

In order to appreciate the unique practical and philosophical differences inherent in Consciousness-based Education, it is expected that parents/carers either schedule a visit or attend one of the many Maharishi Free School open days held throughout the year prior to choosing Maharishi Free School for their child. During this open day, parents will be briefed on these differences including both the School’s and the parents' responsibilities.

Any pupil will be admitted without reference to academic ability or aptitude, race, colour, gender, religion, socio-economic status, ethnicity or national origins.


To arrange a visit here are our contact details:
