Ive been here since preschool, there is definitely a lot to work on with resources and expansion but what we have is very good. Teachers are sweet and helpful and staff is always willing to help. I've had a lot of fun here and am glad I could gain TM as a daily tool in school Thank Maharishi school

I attended Maharishi School from grades 1-12. Now my children are going into 2nd grade and kindergarten there. It's changed a lot since my student days, but has preserved its core of being a place full of kindness, warmth, and fantastic opportunities for growth on every level. Our family moved back to Iowa from Los Angeles largely so our kids could grow up in this nurturing, positive environment.

The Maharishi School has a unique way of encouraging and developing the students. We have not seen this in any other school. Starting from daily meditations, to a lot of personal attention, up to graduation where each student appreciates the school in their own way and the teachers also appreciate the strength of each student. We found this really helps that the students want to do their very best and mature into amazing personalities.

These include a safe learning environment in mostly single gender classrooms; a healthy learning environment, both emotionally--low stress--thanks to the practice of Transcenddental Meditation by both the teachers and the students, and physically--wi...
