The School We Raise Funds For

Dharma’s mission has always been that any child that wants to go to Maharishi School should be given the chance to experience a Consciousness-Based education.

Why Dharma Foundation is committed to raising need-based scholarships for this school!

  1. Rural Iowa has limited and lower economic development than its urban counterparts. This creates a tremendous need for scholarships due to limited disposable income for private education.
  2. Because Maharishi School has an open policy of admittance, experience has shown that children whose stress levels are being reduced through the daily curriculum unique to this school, naturally begin to excel regardless of previous background.
  3. Kindness and compassion rules – bonds are created amongst the students and often they remain life-long friends after graduation. This is because students connect to one another on deeper levels of understanding and consideration.
  4. When students learn in a less stressful environment, their full potential begins to unfold and they become more self-confident. Upon graduation, these students exhibit a strong sense of direction and develop into successful adults who promote positive lifestyles.
  5. Every year, Maharishi School becomes better known throughout the world, as many schools have begun to adopt the innovative programs pioneered at this school.
  6. By donating to Maharishi School in Fairfield Iowa, you help to support schools on every continent.

A contribution of $330 per month can help an entire family attend Maharishi School. Any contribution large or small is appreciated click on GIVE NOW.

The Remarkable Success of Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment

How does a small school in Iowa grow to merit international acclaim? A school with open enrollment from a diversity of backgrounds and no entrance exams. Where trophy cases are overflowing with state, national, and international prizes for academics, speech, fine arts, creative problem solving, and sports. Dr. Ashley Deans explains how in his clear, concise, compelling account of 20 years of unprecedented successes at Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment.

 

Accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States, Maharishi School accepts students with a wide range of academic abilities and from a broad spectrum of economic backgrounds.

Dr. Deans describes the achievements of Maharishi School students and the success of the Consciousness-BasedSM approach to education. Research showing improved creativity, intelligence, health, and student behavior is presented, together with applications to curricula in the arts, sciences, and sports. Case studies of improvements in school climate, as evidenced by decreased alcohol and drug use and reduced bullying and school violence, are well documented.

Millions of children in the United States have been diagnosed with stress related learning disorders and using medications whose effectiveness has been called into question.
