What is Consciousness-Based Education?

Consciousness-Based Education is an educational approach that focuses on the development of the student’s consciousness as the foundation for all learning. This means cultivating a calm, clear, and focused mind through daily practice of Transcendental Meditation, integrated into the school’s schedule. The result is a learning environment where students thrive—intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

Unlocking the Full Potential of Every Student

Maharishi School in Melbourne offers a distinctive educational approach known as Consciousness-Based Education (CBE). This innovative system is designed to develop the full creative potential and well-being of every student through a holistic curriculum that includes both traditional academic excellence and the scientifically validated benefits of Transcendental Meditation®.
