Located in Reservoir, Maharishi Primary School is an independent, non-religious school offering a deeply considered and distinctive approach to primary education. For us, education is personal. It is about recognising the uniqueness of each child and nurturing their growth with care and intention.
Our holistic program, including daily meditation, is designed to support the development of the whole child. We honour each student’s individual journey and work in close partnership with families to ensure every child feels supported in becoming the very best version of themselves — academically, socially and personally.
Our Unique Point of Difference
What sets Maharishi Primary School apart is our foundation in Consciousness-Based Education. In practical terms, this means we actively nurture the inner skills that allow children to learn and relate well — emotional intelligence, focus, resilience and self-awareness.
We understand that children learn best when they feel calm, grounded and confident. When a child’s mind is settled, their thinking becomes clearer. Their concentration strengthens. Their confidence grows. Learning becomes more purposeful and more deeply understood.
We are proud to be the only school in Australia offering this distinctive model of education. Families choose Maharishi School because they are seeking not only strong academic outcomes, but also an environment where their child feels secure, valued and inspired to grow.
A Community That Cares
At Maharishi Primary School, the individual child is at the heart of everything we do. Our students do not slip through the cracks. They are known — truly known — by their teachers and peers. They are valued for who they are and encouraged to develop their strengths with confidence.
Strong foundations in literacy and numeracy are a priority, alongside inquiry, creativity and critical thinking. At the same time, we cultivate resilience, initiative, kindness and a genuine love of learning. We believe academic success and personal wellbeing go hand in hand.
There is a strong sense of belonging within our community. It is a place where it is wonderful to know and be known. Students are encouraged to take their time — to learn deeply, to appreciate quality and to simply enjoy being children. In this balanced and nurturing environment, young people flourish.
Preparing for the Journey Ahead
With over 27 years of experience, we have seen the lasting impact of this approach. Our students complete their primary years well prepared for the transition to secondary school. They leave with strong academic foundations, the ability to manage their learning independently and the confidence to step into new environments with assurance.
The success of their transition is reflected in the conversations we continue to have with our alumni, many of whom return to share how the skills, confidence, leadership and self-awareness they developed here continue to support them.
