Dear Parents,

Our schools continue to thrive and provide a nurturing environment for children to learn Gujarati language and culture through fun, creativity, music and interaction. This as been aided by the introduction of modern teaching methods, Smart boards and online tools. For those who wish to excel, we offer teaching upto GSCE level where we consistently deliver top grades.

OAUK have four schools located in North West area (Harrow), South area (Croydon), North area (Finchley) and West area (Hounslow). They run on Saturday mornings, except for West area school which runs on Friday evenings. Enrolment is open to all children aged 3 to 16 and is open to non-members as well as members.

The teaching of Jain principles and festivals is a key part of the school syllabus, and extra-curricular and cultural activities are also on offer. These include yoga and games at South and West area schools, and kathak, Bollywood dance, tabla and singing at North Area school. Children’s Jainism classes and adult Gujarati classes have also been introduced at North West area school.

Why learning Gujarati is still relevant today and how it can contribute to your child’s happiness and future success:

• Language plays a key role in developing your child’s personal, social and cultural identity.
• Language and culture are interconnected.
• Children with a good foundation in their mother tongue and culture often display a deeper understanding of themselves and their place within society.
• This leads to an increased sense of confidence and wellbeing.

Naturally, this flows down into every aspect of their lives, including their academic achievement, resilience and success in later life.
