For Jainism to survive in the UK it was vital to nurture and inspire the children at a young age. Pujya Shri Acharya Chandanaji Maharaj and Sadhvi Shilapiji Maharaj’s vision to address this need manifested itself into the first Jain school in the UK. SCVP was formally started in 1996. Through the inspirational leadership and tireless, dedicated work of Sadhvi Shilapiji Maharaj and the strong commitment of the teachers and Veerayatan Trustees, a solid foundation was laid by starting this school in 1996 that continues until today.

Consistent with Veerayatan’s philosophy, the aim of SCVP is to be, a non-sectarian school that imparts the teachings of Mahavir Bhagwan.
