South Florida Hindu Temple Education Classes:
Our Bala Vihar classes are based on thousands of years of Hindu spiritual values inscribed in our scriptures. We take this ancient knowledge, transmitted by our Rishis, and teach children how to apply it in their daily lives in an interactive way through storytelling, discussions, tasks and games. In this way, the experience for children is filled with fun and pleasure. Children also learn prayers and bhajans.
We focus on the creation of characters and values, taught in English, in groups adapted to their age. Our Curriculum, drawn from various sources such as the Chinmaya Mission, Arshad Vidya Gurukulam, is continually updated according to reviews, and is appropriate for your age from 4 years old.
Teen students have a discussion-based course to help them better understand and solve their current problems and the life pressures that our children are experiencing especially because of their cultural background.
Adult classes run in parallel with the moment when parents get involved. We encourage all parents to participate in adult education since parents are role models. Hindi and Gujarati language classes are offered to children and adults 5 years and older.
All sevaks are volunteers and give their time for preparation and lessons.
We would also like to invite all young people and parents to join the bhajan group that formed in the temple. The practice for the bhajan group is immediately after Aarti.
The educational program goes even further and offers courses in Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Table and Yoga.
