Yearn to do the righteous deed

Tamil Class Information

The Tamils of Greater Rochester(TGROC) initiated the Aathichudi Arunthamizh Palli(AAP) in 2017 for giving an opportunity for learning the Classical Tamil Language and its culture for Tamil Kids. We have classes in 2 locations Pittsford and Webster for the convenience of Kids. We also run an ATA affiliated program for kids moving out to other states within US and a Non ATA program for kids who are intererested in an Easy learning methods without any Exam pressure. We are successfully stepping into the 6th year in to AAP. We have dedicated and talented teacher volunteers who spend quality time each week to teach our Language and culture to our kids.

ATA Affliated Program:

This Program is to teach Tamil language, culture and General knowledge about history of Tamil Origin, Poets, Leaders etc. American Tamil Academy is a NGO that has affiliated Tamil Schools across the US. Kids will be attending weekly lessons in the ATA syllabus. In addition to the ATA Syllabus we also emphasize spoken and reading Tamil. Kids can continue in any ATA Schools if they move to a different location in the US.

Non-ATA Program:

This is an unconventional method for learning Tamil. We have 2 levels Non-ATA Classes. One is for young kids ages 4-12 focusing, spoken language, Easy writing with no exams. And the other is for Ages 12-20 focusing on Learning Tamil history, culture, Personality development etc through presentations, Debates and other high level activities.
