Bala Vihar re-enrollment for the 2025-26 academic year
We are preparing for Bala Vihar re-enrollment for the 2025-26 academic year. Please note that our classes are currently full, and we have a waiting list for new families. Re-enrollment links will be sent to eligible families within the next few days. Eligibility is based on regular attendance and current Gurudaksina pledge status. As you are aware, Gurudaksina pledges are made during Dipavali time to help with expenses in the following year. Reminders have been sent to families who have not yet made their pledges. Please be aware that families without a current pledge will not receive a re-enrollment link and will need to register again during the fall, if space is available.
