The Maharishi School (Maharishi Free School or Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment) 〔(Official web site, retrieved June 14 2012 )〕〔 is a non-academically selective free school in Lathom, Lancashire, UK. The school was founded in 1986 and uses "consciousness-based education" methods including Transcendental Meditation. Despite political criticism, it became a flagship free school in 2011. ==Description== The school takes it name from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and utilizes an educational approach called "Consciousness-based Education". Its students learn the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) and practice it in 10-minute sessions, three times during the school day〔 Students also learn the principles of the "Science of Creative Intelligence" such as "order is present everywhere" and "the nature of life is to grow" which are said to allow the students to appreciate broader values of life and then apply them in their daily life.〔 According to school officials the program enables the students to be calmer, more focused and relaxed and improves their ability to learn. A 1998 report by National Public Radio said the school has been ranked in the top two percent of the country's schools for the past 12 years.〔Lyden, Jacki (September 12, 1998) Meditating Students, NPR Weekend All Things Considered〕 In 2002 the Liverpool Daily Post reported that the school had 100 percent pass rate on GCSE tests in seven out of the prior 8 years.〔(Jan 12, 2002) Children meditate on top class GCSEs, ''Daily Post'' (Liverpool, England)"Few schools can boast a 100pc top pass rate in GCSE exams. Fewer still have managed the feat in all but one of the last eight years."〕 In 2011 a spokesman for the Department for Education said the Maharishi School was "outstanding in almost all categories" and that the school "has a strong record of high academic achievement". He cited an Ofsted report which says the school provides an "outstanding education" 〔 and according to the school's web site, Ofsted reports its GCSE scores to be in the country's top 2.5 per cent.〔 The school is reported to be located "in the top 20 per cent of England’s most wealthy areas". Schools with similar curriculum include the Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment in the Fairfield, Iowa U.S.A. and the Maharishi School in Reservoir, Australia.〔Ryan, Denise (Oct 22, 2012)(School Puts Stress On Staying Calm ), retrieved Oct 27, 2012〕
