Balavihar
Children are a major focus at Chinmaya Mission Boston. The goal of Balavihar is to "wake up the sleeping giant" in our children and inspire them
to reach their maximum potential. This is achieved by imparting a value-based education through a specially designed age appropriate curriculum.
The children are taught by a team of specially trained, and dedicated teachers. The curriculum designed for all grade levels (Kindergarten through Grade 12) covers a wide range of topics such as:
The senior Balavihar classes provide a forum for youth where they are provided an opportunity to discuss, debate and understand the logic of our religion and its tenets and to become aware of their potential. After having gained this awareness, their potential is directed into creative channels. The high school students are encouraged to volunteer in community and social service activities. The aim of these classes is to prepare today's youth to be responsible and successful adults of tomorrow.
