Sacramento Kannada Shale(SKS) is a part of Kannada Sangha of Sacramento(KSS) a non profit organization. SKS focuses on helping kids learn to speak, read, and write Kannada in a fun and interactive way. Our curriculum also emphasizes Kannada culture as an integral part of learning. We follow the Kannada Kali curriculum, with a teaching methodology designed around how a second language is naturally acquired. Vocabulary is built progressively through words and phrases, followed by sentence structures, poems, and stories. Reading and writing skills are developed in parallel, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging learning experience.
We offer kindergarten / Balavihara for kids under 5 years. Classes are for kids Ages 5 and up. Students will be assessed based on their current knowledge of the language and placed in grades accordingly upon admission. SKS offers 6 grades
Grade 1-Introduction to alphabets
Grade-2-Introduction to gunithakshara
Grade-3- Introduction to otthakshara
Grade-4- Introduction to grammar
Grade-5- Reading and Writing
Grade-6-Advance Reading and Writing
All our classes are held online on Sunday evenings. We have students from all over the US and Canada.
All our teachers are all volunteers spearheading the mission to ensure our young Kannada community inherit the language and its culture.
