From Maharishi School
At Maharishi School, the foundation of our college preparatory program is optimal alertness. You could have the most ideal school imaginable—best teachers, best facilities, best curriculum, and technology—but if students enter the classroom stressed, fatigued, or distracted, how much can be gained? What if there was a way to optimize students’ alertness? And what if a student could cultivate the ability to use more of their brain? Every aspect of school life would be enhanced: assimilating and retaining knowledge, social and emotional development, physical health and well-being. That is why at Maharishi School our students and teachers take time to transcend twice a day, with the practice of yoga and Transcendental Meditation. It dissolves stress and improves brain functioning.

I have two daughters, both of whom attended Maharishi School from pre-school through 12th grade. I think the thing I’m most grateful for doesn’t have anything to do with academics, although the School’s academics are very good. (Both of my daughters attended respected, highly-selected colleges.)
The nurturing atmosphere of the school and the TM technique cultured an attitude of kindness and care for others and for the world. They even have a motto that the students learn – The World is my Family.
Students graduate being grounded in themselves in the deepest sense. They leave as life-long learners and clear, critical thinkers. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend Maharishi School more highly!

As a parent as well as an employee of Maharishi School, over the course of ten years, I can honestly say, my experience has been a sweet and fulfilling one. Even in the midst of uncertain global circumstances, the school has acted swiftly and efficiently, on all grade levels, to maintain a connection with families, offering a full day's course load for my middle school student, remotely.
Having sent two children through the school, I credit a great deal of who they are becoming as burgeoning adults, to the social climate of the school. The smaller class sizes have enabled my children to receive a hand's on education, with much individualized attention that I did not myself receive growing up in a large suburban environment.
It's been an amazing journey, having the opportunity to work at the school my children attend and see firsthand what a small school in the middle of Iowa can accomplish!!!

My son started the preschool program when he was 20 months old. Right away I saw the teachers working with him on social/emotional learning, such as helping him with throwing, pushing and biting. As a single mom it has been an incredible gift to have the support of the school in raising my son!
