Overview
Our Temple offers Dharma School classes for pre-kindergarten through high school students. During the pandemic, services were sometimes via Zoom or livestreamed on YouTube. Now the main part of all Sunday services are hybrid — that is, in person and livestreamed — with most Dharma School families attending in person. After the first half of the service, students attending in person are excused to individual classes. These smaller classes are not livestreamed.
Dharma School works with our youth to help put the Dharma in contexts they can readily understand them. Classes give students opportunities to practice living the Dharma through activities such as collection drives, temple service, and family events. It is a fun and social way for children to grow into the Dharma. preparing them for active and meaningful participation in the Temple.
