School Notes Overview: |
Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment offers consciousness-based SM education from preschool to Grade 12. This is a unique, scientifically validated system of education to unfold the inner genius of every student, developing full creative intelligence for a happy, healthy, productive life. Maharishi School’s mission is to enliven the total brain physiology of every student, and thereby create successful individuals who radiate an influence of peace and harmony in the world. This is accomplished by adding the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) to the study of traditional academic disciplines. Together with its practical aspect, the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs, including Yogic Flying, SCI provides the knowledge and experience of Transcendental Consciousness, the unified field of Nature’s creativity and intelligence at the source of thought. Only the regular experience of this field of “Total Knowledge” enlivens the total brain physiology. Extensive scientific research has shown that Consciousness-Based education increases creativity and intelligence, improves health and social behavior, and creates a powerful influence of peace and harmony in the School and community. It is therefore the mission of Maharishi School to also support in every possible way the establishment of similar schools to ensure that every community and every nation enjoys peace on a permanent basis.
