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, and inclusive religious instruction. Religious education is evenly split between Hinduism and other world religions.
