The school provides both academic and experiential education. Young students develop proficiency in Sanskrit as a prelude to classroom study of the Vedic teachings through subjects relevant to modern-day life. Their learning is enhanced through regular participation in such Vedic practices as chanting, worship, and meditation.
Free education, board, and lodging are provided by the school. Students also receive a stipend to take care of other needs, so they can be financially independent of their families. Because the curriculum demands great discipline and rigor, students applying to the school must demonstrate a high level of determination and interest to qualify for admission.
Shanti Mandir provides an opportunity for Holistic education in its pristine environment for a minimum of 9 years to students who enroll in Prathama (Class 9). They go through to Madhyama (Class 12) in a curriculum that has recognition from the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board.
