Introduction

Centro Educativo Ananda Marga was founded by missionaries of Ananda Marga and started to operate in 2001. In the beginning we had to struggle to promote our ideals and philosophy to the community because of their strong religious beliefs. We are introducing a new type of education which includes vegetarianism, yoga and meditation.

In 2002 the primary school was completed and the student roll increased to 100. From 2002 until the present our student roll ranges from 100 to 130 children.

Our motto is Savidyaya Vimuktaye which means “Education is that which liberates”. We believe that if proper education has been given to everyone it can bring a potential development to be a good citizens and the world would be a better place to live.

Environment

The school is located at the heart of Managua the capital of Nicaragua; it is in the Barrio Villa Reconciliacion where the former rebels, military and civilians are now living together, putting behind them the war where many people lost thier lives in the past.
