Admissions Process: Upper School

1. Visit Us (optional)

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

Visits to the Maharishi Middle 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. After a student visits and is accepted, Upper School students must defer enrollment until the start of the following semester.

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 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.

The ASP at Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, wa The ASP at Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, was created to meet the needs of working parents or other parents that are in need of extra after school programs for their children. This program is designed for children attending Kindergarten through 8th grade. The program is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that meets the needs of our Elementary and Middle School students and families within a child-centered environment that is both relaxing and stimulating.
At our program we will encourage the children to balance their leisure time. This will be done by providing a structured environment, with plenty of opportunities for children to choose activities that will enhance their social, mental, physical and intellectual growth.
Structure of the After School Program
The ASP is offered only when the school is in session from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
If a scheduled school day has to be canceled, the ASP will also be canceled. 
Daily structured and unstructured activities include:
🌟Snack
🌟Mixed age grouping
🌟Homework supervision
🌟Crafts and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) activities
🌟Passive games
🌟Dance, yoga
🌟Movie-pizza-popcorn party
🌟Seasonal activities
🌟Outdoor activities
🌟Library
If there is interest in regular clubs, we will definitely accommodate that: e.g., sewing, garden-kitchen, music, dance, international language, or recycling clubs.
The After School Program contract and application form must be completed before starting the program.
