Class Format
Bala Vihar classes are held on Sundays at Chinmaya Sundaram. 2 sessions are offered: Session 1 from 8:30 AM - 10 AM and Session 2 from 11:30 AM - 1 PM. All grades are offered in both sessions and taught by separate groups of volunteer Sevaks/Sevikas.

Qualifications
Positive attitude and a willingness to learn and grow with your students. Prior experience not necessary

Time Commitment
Approx. 4 hours/week which includes 1.5 hour in-class time, 1-2 hours class preparation and 1 hour Teacher Satsang with ShuchitaJi. The Teacher Satsang is a mandatory component of the teacher commitment since it is an investment in our personal growth as individuals and teachers.

Placement
New teachers are "teachers-in-training" and will be assigned to a class with 1 or more experienced teachers. New teachers are encouraged take on more class responsibilities over time, depending on comfort level.

The Bala Vihar Teacher motto is:
“Bala Vihar is my Temple, Children are my God, Teaching is my Worship, Vision of God is my Reward.” — Pujya GuruJi Swami Tejomayananda
