Bhaktivedanta Academy's end of year ceremony for Pre-K through Upper Elementary is on Thursday, May 31. Our end of year ceremony will have recitations, songs and certificate presentations for our kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 6th grade students and will be divided into two ceremonies:

All students in Bhakti Bhavan, Audarya Bhavan, and Madhurya Bhavan should arrive by 8 a.m. as usual. This is a uniform day, so we ask that all students come looking their best. The 2017-2018 school year will officially end at the conclusion of each ceremony. There is no after care.

Our 10th grade graduation will be taking place on Thursday, May 31 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the Alachua Women’s Club. All Krishna Sharanam students should arrive at 5 p.m. for final preparations and pictures.
Everyone except for the graduates are required to be in school uniform. Krishna Sharanam students will not be attending class on Thursday.
On behalf of the teachers and staff, thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children and for another great year together. We are looking forward to August 13 when we will welcome our returning students back. We wish you all a happy and safe summer.
