Arivakam Tamil Cultural Academy

Arivakam is an excellent organization which helps young kids to develop their Tamil writing, reading, listening and communication skills. They offer classes starting from Junior Kindergarten until Grade 8. The teachers are very supportive and care about their students’ development. All of my children learnt Tamil through Arivakam and have learnt so much about their Tamil culture and heritage.

Arivakam has provided my children the opportunity to learn Tamil and its cultural heritage. Immigrating to Canada, where my children will be exposed to English, I thought it was important that my children were immersed in the Tamil language. It was important that my children were able to speak and write in Tamil. This will allow them to create meaningful connections within the Tamil community. Arivakam ensures that their students know to read, understand the grammar and how to write essays. Their curriculum has helped my children understand their culture and feel confident in speaking in Tamil.

Arivakam has been one of the best decisions for our daughters’ educational and cultural growth. As parents deeply invested in preserving our Tamil heritage, we sought a school that could impart not just language skills but also a strong sense of cultural identity. Since joining Arivakam, our daughters’ Tamil language proficiency has improved significantly and they have become more confident communicating in Tamil. The structured curriculum covers all aspects of Tamil—reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension. Arivakam places a strong emphasis on cultural education. Through festivals, cultural events, and storytelling sessions, our daughters have gained a deep understanding and appreciation of Tamil traditions, literature, and values.

Arivakam is an excellent organization and a great foundation for our kids to learn Tamil language, Tamil culture and about our history. Arivakam has experienced Tamil teachers and very good academic standards. I would greatly recommend Arivakam for our Tamil community.

Arivakam is like a lively classroom where kids explore Tamil language, culture, and history. It's not just about learning words and grammar; it's also about understanding traditions, and what makes Tamil culture special and unique.

Kids can participate in Tamil competitions and enjoy cultural programs to experience Tamil traditions.

Arivakam makes learning an adventure, helping kids appreciate and connect with their Tamil heritage in a fun and meaningful way.

Highly recommend it!
