How long would I have to stay with my son in Mayapur before he could stay there without us?

This is entirely dependent on the progress of the student and the relationship between the parents and the school. As a minimum the student attends the Bhaktivedanta Academy as a day student for the six month trial period. Admission to the asrama is by invitation only. The decision is taken through close consideration and discussions between the Academy deans and the parents.
