Who attends this school?

Admission priority is given to the children of widows and the ones abandoned. Many of the wage-arners of the families are rickshaw pullers, poor farmers, or very small businessmen. The School management,believes that having a ratio of poor students to middle-class students of 4 to 1 is useful.The middle-class students set an example to the poorer students for hygiene, the importance of education and daily discipline. Students come from Hindu Muslim, Christian as well as Buddhist families.

Who runs the school on a regular basis?

The Sisters of Queen of the Apostles run the school by filling in the positions of the principal and deputy principal. Their contract is renewed every two years. There is a school management committee, which includes Ven U Nyaneinda (the Abbott of the Burmese monastery), Kiran Lama (the Head of the Daijokyo

Temple) and PR (Princy) Dwyer (Director of the YMCA in Gaya). Further, the Prajna Vihar Inter-religious Education Society (PVIES) holds the school property and buildings, and engages the principal and deputy. There is also an annual meeting with donors.
