Pages 1-4 are the school brochure and pages 5-7 are the forms.

* HATS follows a rigorous graded curriculum meant for children 
from ages 4-15, in addition to offering free adult classes on 
the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and Yoga/Meditation.
* Children's Dharma class (a 12 year curriculum) starts from 
recognition of Hindu Devis and Devatas and ends in a thorough 
understanding of the major spiritual, philosophical, ritual and 
ethical principles of Hinduism and Jainism. Meditation, and 
shloka/arati chanting are a part of this syllabus.
* The school is also offering 6 language classes this year: 
Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati and Kannada (more may 
be added if there is interest, e.g. Bengali).

We had a long waiting list last year, and expect the same this 
year too.
