We have had three children attend the Maharishi School, spanning across 10 years and our experience has been a positive one. It's a place where our children have been cared for, nurtured and encouraged to develop their talents and shine in their own unique ways. We have particularly valued the inclusion of daily meditation as part of the curriculum which has given our children a tool for life. The school follows the normal Victorian school curriculum, so our children have all been ready and prepared for high school. Teachers and the Principal at the school have always been available to speak to when and if required and communication between families and the school is encouraged and valued. The opportunities this school has provided our children have been extensive and include: leadership development with an SRC (Student Representative Council) program involving all year levels, and even greater leadership responsibility and opportunities in senior years; public speaking development; learning of a musical instrument and Auslan; involvement in School Productions including stage and video productions; sporting opportunities including tennis, cricket, soccer, basketball, athletics and cross country; lunch-time clubs; school camps and student leadership conferences; artwork exhibited in public exhibitions, as well as participation in Victorian Science competitions, the National ANZAC Day Schools Awards and external Maths competitions; and finally the opportunity to participate in a beautiful Rite of Passage day with an Indigenous Elder at the end of Grade 6 to conclude their primary school years. Making the choice for what primary school our children attended was a very personal and individual one, and for us, the Maharishi School was the right choice for our kids.

I have a son grade prep and a daughter in grade 2 at Maharishi school and we could not be happier! Both kids are thriving and they absolutely love their little school. From the beautifully nurturing staff teaching self awareness, emotional intelligence and transcendental meditation, I believe we could not have chosen a better school to set our kids up for life with solid foundations. So much love and gratitude to have found this wonderful community.
My daughter recently joined Maharishi school and she has really exelled, became self confident and was able to have lots of friends although its has a small compliment of students as compared to the school she was in before. I cant talk more highly of this school, students, teachers and parents are amazing. I don't mind the long hours of travel, and sacrifice, it is well worth it. My Daughter loves it here, and I am very happy about her progress.
My son is in his 3rd year at Maharishi School and my daughter will be starting prep next year. I can’t speak highly enough for the school, the people (students, teachers & parents) and the philosophy of Consciousness Based Education. It’s a wonderful community that truly cares for one another. The first thing I noticed when I did the school tour was the energy of the place, it’s calming and welcoming. My son is thriving at Maharishi School and have no doubt that my daughter will next year also. The children are treated as individuals and encouraged and supported to be their best by expressing their creativity and passion. They also practice their meditation twice per day which is one of the greatest gifts to give your child. The teaching staff are incredibly talented, supportive and approachable. It’s the kind of place where everyone is enabled to be their best including the parents. The school runs regular seminars for families on various topics and of course parents also learn and practice Transcendental Meditation at the school. And, there are so many wonderful opportunities for the children to take part in different activities such as various sports, art, music, chess, choir, cooking, drama etc. Highly recommend
Being new parent at Maharishi School ,we are very happy about the decision to choose this school for my 5yo son.He is enrolled for prep this year and he is enjoying every bit of his school time.Principal Mr Steve Charisis & teaching & admin staff are so cooperative with the kids & families that we can’t speak high enough of them.. So far the journey with the School is amazing and we are looking forward for the best foundation years of our kid at Maharishi.. Good wishes & regards
My son has been attending Maharishi school from Prep to year 6. In the last 7 years, he has thrived in a truly supportive environment where his intellectual, artistic, emotional, social skills and spiritual awareness have all expanded to enable him becoming a conscious young person. I have found the school to be an excellent school partner where parents, teachers, principals (past & present) and administrators all work together for the best of all children. I've found the school to be highly responsive and inclusive. In particular, over the years, the teachers have been generous, timely and insightful in their feedback on my child's progress. This has been very helpful to me in guiding his development. I highly recommend Maharishi school to parents who wish to give their children a balanced education that offers: intellectual curiosity, environmental awareness, emotional resilience, multicultural connections and above all self awareness and compassion for humanity. I invite prospective parents to come and witness the children playing and studying together harmoniously and intelligently at school. The same effect takes place when the children play outside school. This is a living testimony to an effective education outcome which no words can adequately describe. It has been a privilege to be part of a caring education community including parents, children, carers, grandparents, teachers, administrators and principals. Thank you all for the wonderful experiences we've shared.
My daughter hasn't yet reached school age, but I have attended the school to learn transcendental meditation myself this year. For me personally it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself, and I can't think of a better gift to give to my daughter than to let her learn this easy and peaceful practice. Updated 2020 - it has been a difficult year with lockdown but being at this school has helped us through it all. We have felt the love and support of staff the whole way through and now my daughter is back with her prep class she is so happy. It is such a gem of a school, and even though a bit of a drive for our family, so worth it!
