Tamil learning in Montreal · Since 2019
தமிழைக் கற்போம். தலைமுறைகளை இணைப்போம்.
Children learn to read, write, speak, and understand Tamil in a warm community setting—guided by a structured curriculum and dedicated volunteer teachers.

Our school
Quebec Tamil Kalvi Nilayam began in September 2019 with a simple purpose: to give children in our community a meaningful connection to Tamil.
Introduced to Tamil families through Tamilagam Quebec community events, the school has grown through the commitment of volunteer teachers, academic leaders, parents, council members, and community supporters.
Why learn Tamil?
Tamil connects children with family, identity, literature, and a global community that spans generations and continents.
Tamil is spoken by communities across India, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and beyond.
Tamil has official-language status in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, and Singapore, with recognition in several other countries.
Learning Tamil gives children direct access to a rich literary tradition, cultural values, stories, and family history.
The learning journey
Students progress through four connected language skills with age-appropriate instruction, guided practice, and regular feedback.
Letters, sounds, words, and increasingly complex passages.
Handwriting, spelling, sentence formation, and expression.
Conversation, recitation, pronunciation, and participation.
