Sati School

VISION STATEMENT

To nurture a joyful community where children of all ages develop mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom while forming meaningful connections that support their growth into conscious, caring individuals.

MISSION STATEMENT

Sati School provides age-appropriate mindfulness education rooted in Buddhist values, creating a supportive community where children:

Cultivate fundamental values of kindness, compassion, gratitude, and generosity
Build meaningful friendships and intergenerational relationships within a diverse, welcoming community
Experience joy and fun through interactive learning, play, creative activities, and outdoor experiences
Learn practical tools for emotional regulation and self-awareness through meditation and mindfulness practices
Develop understanding of Buddhist teachings through stories, discussion, and age-appropriate curriculum
Feel valued as individuals while learning to care for each other and our natural environment

“Sati” is the ancient Buddhist word for “mindfulness.”

At our Sunday meetings, while parents are meeting for meditation and discussion the children break into classes (“Sati School”) for a period of learning and playing. The class time is dedicated to learning about mindfulness meditation, values, and Buddhist teachings in a fun, engaging way, through arts and crafts, music, games, reading, and group activities. Children’s class time also frequently includes some outdoor play. Our Sati School program follows the curriculum in MFD founding teacher’s book Sitting Together.
