Who will be teaching my child, and do they have a formal qualification?

The Academy's teachers are selected based on their qualification to fulfil the Academy's mission in delivering the stated educational and occupational outcomes for the students, and not on any formal qualification issued by an external institution that has different aims to the Academy and Srila Prabhupada's stated objective for his Gurukula's. Academy teachers that have not gone through the Gurukula system are trained by the deans of teh Bhaltivedanta Academy in the proper mood and relationship to develop with the students in order to develop the best in the students. The Academy's criteria for dealing and interacting with students is very stringent and based on the Vedic model of teacher student relationships.

Our teachers come from a variety of backgrounds including:
    •    Predominantly graduate students of the Academy (at various levels)
    •    Devotees from a variety of servic ebackgrounds that have been trained in the Academy
    •    devotees in good standing who have specialised knowledge in their subject area and understand the mission of the Academy
