Our Gurmat Education Program
Our Gurmat classes follow a 15-unit curriculum covering the Punjabi alphabet, Muhaarni, Punjabi reading, basic Sikhi knowledge, and Sikh history. After completing all 15 units, students move on to Gurbani Santhiya classes. In Kirtan classes, students can choose to learn harmonium or tabla.
We encourage our students to deepen their connection with Sikhi, bring Gurbani and seva into their daily lives, and work toward taking Amrit and becoming Amritdhari.
