व्योम-बाल-गुरुकुलम् - यू.एस्.ए २०२६-२७
(सेतुपाठ्यक्रमः द्वितीयस्तरः च)
The values we carry through life are shaped by the time we spend with our elders—the stories they narrate, the prayers they sing, and the wisdom they lovingly pass on. These experiences nurture character, compassion, and a deep connection to our culture. In today's fast-paced world, many children miss these precious opportunities. Vyoma Bala Gurukulam strives to bridge this gap by bringing authentic teachers, timeless traditions, and value-based learning into every child's home.
Over the past year, many parents expressed their desire to enroll their children in Vyoma Bala Gurukulam after missing the earlier admissions. Responding to this demand, we are delighted to launch this Special Bridge Batch—a unique opportunity for new students to begin their Vyoma journey.
This one-year, completely free online after-school program enables new learners to build the essential foundations required to seamlessly join our continuing students. Through a carefully designed bridge curriculum, children will develop proficiency in Samskrita, Samskriti, and Samskara, preparing them to confidently progress into the higher levels of Vyoma Bala Gurukulam.
While this course is primarily intended for children in the USA and Canada, children from other countries are welcome to join if the class timings are convenient.
Why a Bridge Course?
Many children could not enroll when admissions for Vyoma Bala Gurukulam opened previously. Rather than asking them to wait, Vyoma has introduced this special 4-week bridge course to help them catch up and become part of the Vyoma Bala Gurukulam family.
The bridge curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to provide the essential foundations in Spoken Sanskrit and Sanskrit – to read and write, enabling students to confidently learn alongside children who are already part of the program.
This is a special admission opportunity and will be offered as a one-year free program inclusive of the 4-week bridge course.
