Questions parents ask

Questions before you apply

Is it only for Hindu children?

No. Our programme is built on five human values that every faith shares: truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence. Families of all faiths and none are welcome.

Can parents stay during class?

Yes. Parents are welcome to join our bhajan and singing class, which runs while the children are in their lessons.

Is there an online option?

Yes. Our Global Virtual Classroom is for children who cannot come to Harrow.

Do you photograph the children?

Only with parents' consent, and we never publish children's names. See our media policy.

Where are classes held?

Shaftesbury High School, Headstone Lane, Harrow HA3 6NP, with free parking on site. Directions.
