Richmond Tamil School
"சொல்லில் உயர்வு தமிழ்ச் சொல்லே, அதைத் தொழுது படித்திடடி பாப்பா!!" - மகாகவி சுப்பிரமணிய பாரதியார்

Our Goals
The mission of the Richmond Tamil School is to deliver a dynamic, engaging, and fun-filled interactive learning experience for the children of the local Tamil community. Our goal is to equip these students with the skills needed to effectively understand, speak, read, and write in the Tamil language. Our intended objective is not to create mastery in Tamil, rather, to empower them with sufficient proficiency to:
to enjoy a conversation with grandparents and parents
to have a fun family time watching a Tamil movie with the whole family
to be able to manage getting around when they are in Tamil Nadu.
As the Tamil-speaking community in Richmond, Virginia is growing rapidly, it is extremely prevalent that we provide children with the opportunity to learn their ancestral language, which holds profound cultural significance: Multilingualism offers numerous cognitive, social, academic, and professional benefits that are well-documented. By fostering language proficiency, we aim to enhance cognitive development while striving to achieve the aforementioned goals listed above.
