Bala Vihar, explained — what your kid actually does for 90 minutes

Shlokas, a value-of-the-month story, bhajans, and a surprising amount of laughing. Here's what each age group covers, how the syllabus builds from stories to Gita, and what "graduating" as a CHYK looks like.

The arc, age by age

• 4–7: stories and shlokas — values arrive wrapped in Krishna's butter thefts
• 8–12: Ramayana and Mahabharata as character studies, bhajan repertoire grows
• 13–18: straight into Gita chapters, discussion-style, kids lead sessions

The same Sunday hour has an adult Gita class in the next room — one family drive, everyone learns. Fall registration opens mid-July and K–5 filled by August last year.
