A School for Our Times

The Ananda Living Wisdom School was founded in 1972
on the belief that we have entered a new age of energy and
spiritual consciousness that should be expressed
in the way we educate our children.


Some of the interesting ways this school system is appropriate for our times:

  • Students learn how to direct their energy from the inside.
  • Cooperation and personal excellence replace ego-oriented competitiveness.
  • Experiential activities for learning to be intrinsically happy
  • A student-centered curriculum that makes traditional academics relevant
  • A maximum of 12 students per class makes room for individual uniqueness

Our 37 years of refining this system has given us confidence that we have found a powerful way to prepare children for our times.

Fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, we have found that this prestigious organization has seen the same thing we have:

“If you could put what you are doing in the public schools,
it would change the world.”
— School superintendant at initial accreditation visit

“This school is the best kept secret in Northern California.”
— School principal at most recent renewal

We invite you to visit and see if our school is right for you and your child.
