Saturday classes (10-12) emphasize development of virtues, the world religions, and various Bahá'í subjects, and each session includes family sing-alongs and prayer. About 30 children and their parents attend each week from central Contra Costa County and the Tri-Valley area.
The School holds classes for 3-5 year olds, 6-8 years olds, 9-12 year olds, and youth. Child care for children under 3 is provided, and there is a separate discussion group for parents.

The Bahá'ís of Danville frequently sponsor informal presentations of the Bahá'í Faith at a local home, with refreshments provided by the host (no donations are solicited or accepted). The presentations are an excellent opportunity for people unfamiliar with the Bahá'í Faith to learn about the fastest growing independent world religion.

Holy Day Observances
Bahá'ís celebrate a number of Holy Days throughout the year. Holy Days include Naw-Ruz (the first day of the Bahá'í calendar), the Birth of Bahá'u'lláh (the Prophet-Founder of the Bahá'í Faith), the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh, the Festival of Ridvan (marking the day in 1863 in which Bahá'u'lláh proclaimed his new Faith publicly), and several others. To learn about when and where the next Bahá'í Holy Day observance will be held, call Parisa Norris at (925) 838-9231.
The Bahá'ís of Danville, like other Bahá'í communities around the world, host Feasts on the first day of each Bahá'í month, every 19 days. Since Feasts include administrative functions, such as discussing community finances and other business, they are open only to enrolled Bahá'ís. For more information, contact Parisa Norris at (925) 838-9231.
