High School students at Maharishi School

High School

High School · Grades 9–12

Ready for the challenges of university life — and grounded enough to thrive there.

Our graduates earn places at highly selective universities — Princeton, UC Berkeley, Notre Dame, and Duke among them. They arrive ready: for the coursework, and for the independence of being on their own. In classes averaging ten, no student coasts, and no student disappears.

  • 1 in 3 graduates attends a top-50 university¹
  • 10 students per class, on average
  • A recent graduate earned a full scholarship to Princeton — one of the top-ranked universities in the country²

¹ Classes of 2020–2026: 21 of 63 graduates matriculated to a top-50 U.S. university or college (U.S. News & World Report).

How They Learn

Coursework here is rigorous and personal. Students move forward when they've truly mastered the material — not when the calendar says so — with a teacher who knows exactly where each one stands. The result is depth, not just coverage.

Rest and Activity

Progress comes from a rhythm of activity and rest. Twice a day, our students settle quietly — no screens, eyes closed — for a simple, research-backed mental technique that lets them reset and refresh. They emerge with sharper focus, a calmer mind, and more presence — in class and out of it.

Now, and for Life

Matriculating to a great university is a beginning, not the finish line. Our graduates leave prepared, confident, self-directed, and steady — ready to walk into any high-stakes moment and stay calm, present, and prepared. Outcomes like these show up in the classroom and well beyond it — now, and for the rest of their lives.

We believe in 200% of life. The transcript is the first hundred percent. Who they become is the other one.

Colleges read the transcript. Roommates, professors, and employers meet the rest of it — and that is the part four years here is actually built to change.
