High School Science preparatory course in summer 2025

Vedic Vidyalay is always looking to engage and generate curiosity for thinking out of the box. In summer of 2025 we are glad to offer this science intro course. This class will meet twice a week in July & August 2025, timing depending on everyone's preference. The class  has limited seats so please register  as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. 

Director of program: Avinash Jindal
