व्योम-बाल-गुरुकुलम् २०२५- २८
Vyoma Bala Gurukulam USA 2025 - 28 (A 3-Year After-School Immersive Experience)
What we are today is the product of the time we spent with our elders. The moral values in those stories, soulful experiences in the evening bhajan-s and knowledge of shastra-s from elders defines our personality. Vyoma Bala Gurukulam bridges the current gap of grandparents, authentic teachers and loving elders.
Enroll your child in Vyoma Bala Gurukulam, for an immersive after-school online program tailored for children aged 6-12 years. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed into three progressive levels, emphasising Samskrita, Samskriti, and Samskara. Start your child’s journey with the first level, Shravanananda, beginning in October 2025. The contribution towards this intense three-level program is 404 USD.
While this course is primarily designed for children in the US and Canada, children from other time zones are welcome if the timings are convenient.

Do the children have holidays and vacations?
How many extra hours per week will my child need to study beyond class time?
Your child may need to dedicate around 30 minutes to 1 hour per week for reviewing lessons outside of class.
Can my child join the course midway?
For optimal results, it is recommended that your child joins the course from the start.
What will not be taught in Vyoma Bala Gurukulam?
Veda Mantras and Vedic Chanting are not part of the curriculum. Additionally, we respect your family’s religious practices and do not interfere with or influence your child.
Will this learning impact my child’s regular academics?
Vyoma Bala Gurukulam does not interfere with your child’s regular academic studies. Instead, it provides consistent, systematic exposure to SSS during the evening hours (dusk-Sandhya), complementing their usual academic schedule.
Where can I purchase the study materials for the course?
Details about the materials and books to be purchased will be intimated during the interview process.
Will children be assigned to levels based on age, previous exposure, or both? Can they choose their level, or is it assigned by Vyoma? Can they start at a level other than the beginning?
All beginners, regardless of age, are generally recommended to start with Level 1 - Shravanananda. However, for students with prior experience in Vyoma's regular kids' courses or other Sanskrit exposure, we will evaluate their background on a case-by-case basis and assist in determining the appropriate level for them.
I love stories, videos, and games—will I find these in the course?
Yes, Vyoma’s multimedia tools feature charming animated stories, interactive games, worksheets, and quizzes. We’re confident you’ll enjoy these engaging elements.

We have shared information about this program with a wide network of children. You'll have the opportunity to make new friends online, and you're also welcome to refer your like-minded friends to join.
Will learning and memorizing shlokas be challenging?
Our program is specifically designed to incorporate regular Shloka revision into each class, making memorization more manageable. With a little practice over the weekend, we're confident you'll do just fine.
Is there any form of guidance or motivation?
Our dedicated and enthusiastic teachers provide friendly mentorship, making the learning process engaging and motivating.
