"Education confers humility, endows one with the authority to command, that will entitle one to affluence. With the help of charity and compassion this affluence can be made fruitful, and by this means, happiness in this world and peace in the next can be won; True knowledge is that which establishes harmony and synthesis between science on the one hand and spirituality and ethics on the other."
~Sathya Sai Baba

Bhagawan Baba has described two forms of education. The first type encompasses facts and knowledge that concern the external world. The second type, Educare, is knowledge that cannot be found in the external world, but is rather found from the soul within. Educare is the practical knowledge that allows us to be broad-minded and able to discern between good and evil.
The SSE Program entails weekly classes consisting of bhajan singing; meditation; and stories, discussions, debates, skits, seva projects, and other fun activities that are based on the 5 Human Values and other everyday problems. These lessons are intended to help mold students into outstanding citizens that embody the teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. As Baba has said, “The end of education is character.”
The Educare is implemented in Tri-Partnership –
Parents – the primary child trainers and prime players in the child’s life
Gurus or SSE Teachers – Volunteers who set examples for the children with their committed living on the principles laid by our Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
The Child – our future

"The end of wisdom is freedom. The end of culture is perfection. The end of knowledge is love.
The end of education is character. And character consists of eagerness to renounce one’s selfish greed."
