About Bala Vihar

Bala Vihar in the Bay Area was started in 1981 by Acharya Uma Auntie under the guidance of Pujya Gurudev. It has grown from a humble beginning of 6 children to over 2000 students spread across three locations today. The Bala Vihar and Yuva Kendra programs have been re-organized to serve children and youth. The classes are arranged according to the school system – Kindergarten through High School (K-12). We do not place children in class by age. The grade in which the child is enrolled in school is the consideration for admission to Bala Vihar/Yuva Kendra. Several Indian languages are also taught as part of this program. To register for language classes, students must first register in Bala Vihar/Yuva Kendra classes and attend them.
