Teachers and families
A class teacher who knows your child, and acharyas who teach in the tradition
Every batch has one class teacher who stays all year. Subject acharyas join for their own sessions. None of them is chosen in a hurry.
The class teacher
Takes the morning guru pooja and attendance, knows every family in the batch of 20, and is the person you talk to. You get a five-minute update every week, and a call when something needs you.
The subject acharyas
Teach their own subject live, in one-hour sessions, in the Anaadi way: five ways of learning every week, which are recitation, observation, storytelling, discussion and activity.

The acharyas for 2027 are chosen through the four steps below and announced to families before the year begins. We do not name anyone until they have been through all four.
