Spirit of Learning
“. . . An active and living community entirely dedicated to the service of what is best and highest in the world.”
—From a letter dated October 14 1936, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi
to Louhelen Bahá’í School.
Program Philosophy
Louhelen’s mission is to empower the systematic efforts of individuals, communities, and institutions to serve humanity as a means of loving God; respect the truths found in all great world religions; value and welcome all races, religions, and nations; strive to eliminate prejudices and overcome racism; value equally the capacities of women and men; celebrate the uniqueness and nobility of each person; work to build unity and justice through deeds, not words alone.
Academic Credit Program
Since 2001, a unique partnership between Louhelen Bahá’í School and Fort Hays State University has provided the foundation for a fully-accredited academic program based on Bahá’í writings and principles. More

“The Louhelen School . . . will grow in the future to be a seat of Bahá’í education.” More
—Shoghi Effendi.
Fostering the Spiritual Education of Children
While the spiritual education of children has been an integral part of Bahá’í activities from the earliest days of the Bahá’í faith, since 2000 the world-wide Bahá’í community has redoubled its efforts on behalf of children everywhere.
