Avanti schools aim to promote "educational excellence, character formation and spiritual insight."[4] Avanti schools follow the standard national curriculum of the government-run schools of the United Kingdom.[5] In addition to the standard curriculum, Avanti schools feature Sanskrit language teaching, meditation and yoga practice, ethics and philosophy education,[4] and inclusive religious instruction.[5] Religious education is evenly split between Hinduism and other world religions.[5]
