Pathshala · A school day

How a school day runs

The rhythm of a gurukulam, lived at home: guru pooja and yoga, live sessions subject by subject, pārāyaṇa, yoga nidra, swādhyāya and krīḍā.

This is the full school day. At ages 3 to 5 (Bala) there are two pathways, a morning batch and an evening pathway: see how they differ. [BALA MORNING AND EVENING TIMINGS]

1

Guru pooja and yoga

The day opens and closes in stillness; attendance is taken in the morning.

2

Live sessions, subject by subject

Four one-hour sessions with the subject acharya, one tap to join, with breakfast and lunch between.

3

Pārāyaṇa and yoga nidra

Recitation that trains memory and attention; rest that settles what was learnt.

4

Swādhyāya and krīḍā

Self-study from the book kit, then play: two hours each, off the screen, handed in as a photo or a voice note.
