Krishna Avanti School

Top Educational Standards

High educational achievement and standards have always been central to the Hindu community. At Krishna-Avanti high standards and expectations are a top priority. Our aim is to stretch and challenge every child and thus facilitate their individual potential. We aim to enable students to become confident, articulate and motivated learners, and thus lay solid foundations for their future vocation, economic well-being and self-fulfilment.

Superb Facilities

At Krishna-Avanti we are privileged to have the benefit of a brand new purpose built building, with cutting edge facilities and technologies.

Eco-friendly

A key aim at Krishna-Avanti is to be one of the most eco-friendly schools in the country. Our new building is already equipped with a range of environmentally friendly technologies, whilst the eco values will permeate school life, including everything from the teaching to dining. Thus we hope to help students adopt conscientious lifestyles that help sustain our planet, particularly by setting a practical example, nurturing respect for all life, and maintaining a simple, clean and  ecologically-friendly environment.

Vegetarian

An important aspect of our ecological responsibility, respect for all life and promotion of good health manifests itself in a very practical way through a balanced vegetarian diet. Children are involved with aspects of growing, preparing, cooking and sanctifying their food.

Vaishnava Values

The School's faith partner is ISKCON (The International Society for Krishna Consciousness). ISKCON is a strand of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, part of the Vaishnava community, a monotheistic tradition that reveres Lord Vishnu. Vaishnavism is itself one of four main strands within Hinduism. The School strives to nurture character and conduct consistent with Vaishnava virtues, most notably respect, empathy, honesty, self-esteem, self-discipline, thoughtfulness and appreciation of the divine. In line with these values, children are given opportunities to practice yoga, meditation and the arts.

NB: The other three main strands within Hinduism include:
1. Shaivism -these who worship Shiva
2. Shaktism - worshippers of Shakti, the Goddess 3. The Smarta Tradition, who worship five main deities
