Over the course of the school year, we welcomed 11 new students from China, and when we celebrated the International Day of Peace on September 22nd, our students with international parents represented 24 different countries. We now have 22 boarding students from across the United States and around the world living with host families: from California, New York, and Texas, and Germany, Nepal, Philippines, Russia, and South Africa. They represent the diversity of cultures and perspectives our students will encounter in the 21st century workplace. But at Maharishi School they are connected by a common practice of the Transcendental Medita- tion program and the common experience of an underlying unified field of consciousness. It was that unique Consciousness-Based approach to education that at- tracted one of the world’s most successful, respected, and philanthropic Dr. Richard Beall leaders to visit our school. Oprah Winfrey has longed for a system of ed- Head of Maharishi School ucation that systematically unfolds the inner potential of each student, while preparing students academically for college. She discovered and hailed our 200% approach—inner development and outer success—and promised to tell the world about our school. So in 2013 and onward, we expect the Ma- harishi School family will continue to grow in size and diversity, as we welcome the world to the home of the Pioneers and the flagship insti- tution of Consciousness-Based education.
