Admissions Process: Lower School

1. Visit Us

The best way to know whether your family and Maharishi School are a perfect fit is to visit. You’ll want to meet our teachers, our administrators, spend time in the classrooms, and have your child meet their peers.

Visits to the Maharishi Lower School are arranged by appointment.  We request a two-week notice of all visits.  Open Houses are also scheduled several times each year. Local students are invited to spend a day in their age-appropriate classroom and out of town students are invited to spend 2 days in their age-appropriate classroom.

To plan a visit, contact admissions@maharishischool.org or call (641) 472-9400 ext.5076.

2. Apply Online

There is a $25 application fee and you will need to provide an official school transcript from your child’s most recent school. As you navigate the application requirements, remember that the Maharishi Admissions team is here to be your partner every step of the way. Access our online application.

3. Interview

Contact Maharishi School’s Admissions office to schedule an interview with the Lower School Director and Admissions Director. Email admissions@maharishischool.org or call  (641) 472-9400 ext.5076.

4.  Receive Letter of Acceptance from the Admissions Director.

Say “Yes”. Pay the enrollment deposit and complete the registration process with our Registrar.

In order to complete the enrollment process, you will need to provide:

  • Official immunization record or notarized waiver
  • Physical and Health records (completed by your doctor within the last 12 months)
  • Consent for Release of Educational Records

If you would like to apply for financial aid, submit your financial aid application immediately.

  • School code is: 114
  • School password is: ms114
  • A copy of your prior year federal income tax return must be sent to FAIR in conjunction with your online application in order for it to be considered.

Tuition must be fully paid before the student begins in their classroom.

5. Schedule the start date with the Lower School Director

Maharishi School’s Lower School operates on a rolling admissions cycle and new students may be admitted throughout the school year where space is available. At each grade level, class sizes are held to a predetermined number of students to ensure the quality of instruction and to allow our teachers to work individually with each student.

After the student is accepted and tuition is paid, the Lower School Director will schedule your child’s start date.

✨To transcend, by definition, means to go beyond ✨To transcend, by definition, means to go beyond human limitations and to break boundaries. 
✨At Maharishi School, we teach you a technique to break internal boundaries and to sink deep into yourself, to tap into your essence and live in a state of flow.
✨Here, we believe that all parts of ourselves should be developed – the body, mind, heart and consciousness, and therefore the practice of TM® is required for all students. 
✨Our school day starts and ends with a few minutes of the Transcendental Meditation® (TM) technique.
✨ Go to www.maharishischool.org to see if our school is right for you!

🥳Congratulations 2022 Graduates of Maharishi Sc 🥳Congratulations 2022 Graduates of Maharishi School, you did it! 🥳
🎾Congratulations to the Pioneer boys and girls 🎾Congratulations to the Pioneer boys and girls for a great season.🎾
The Pioneer girls had a record high number of players this year while the Pioneer boys team qualified for sub-state. 
We hear from the respective coaches of each team to comment on the conclusion of the season:
Maharishi Girls team not only won the first 12 games of the year, but had never dropped two matches in the same contest. This included 5-0 wins in the regional tournament, one against Notre Dame and one against Davis County.
It was an impressive season for a Pioneer squad that had only played two seasons over the previous four years. Maharishi didn’t have the numbers for a tennis team in 2018, and the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I'm really proud of our girls' improvement,” Eyre said.
Eyre specifically mentioned the growth of his seniors. Out of the six varsity players, Fenton and Mohanraj were the only ones playing in their last season. Both were freshman on the 2019 team that brought girls tennis back to Maharishi.
“They've done such a great job,” Eyre said. “My hat is always going to be with these girls for sticking with it and inspiring others to do it.”
"Our team exceeded expectations this spring. The Pioneers went 8-2 and reached the final sixteen in the state tournament after finishing district runner-up behind 3 time defending state champions, Cedar Rapids Xavier.
The Pioneer’s top 2 players have only played for a year. Zak and Ruimin competed against some really skilled players and won their share of matches. I can’t think of another player in Iowa who developed as quickly as Zak and Ruimin. They worked really hard and their results are impressive. I expect big things from them next year.
The Pioneer’s only senior, Dominic DuPoux was 18-0 in dual meet competition before losing his final match against Boone. The team voted Dominic the MVP award for his consistency in singles and doubles.
Jayanta Wegman, Polo Altynski-Ross, Chacho Rosler, and Mekhi Kahui all made significant strides and will form a strong nucleus for next year’s team." -Coach Steve Briggs
