Sacramento’s first Kannada shale was started in 2009 at Folsom called Folsom Kannada Shale (FKS). As more kannadigas moved to the area, Roseville Kannada Shale(RKS) was started in 2019. Due to covid all classes were held online, and in 2023 Sacramento Kannada Shale(SKS) was formed combining both FKS and RKS.
SKS focuses on teaching our kids on how to speak, Read and write Kannada in a fun and interactive way. We also teach our culture which is part of our curriculum. Our school follows the Kannada Koota of Northern California (KKNC) curriculum. Teaching methodology is aligned with how a second language is learnt by building vocabulary through words, word phrases, rules for sentences, poems – stories, reading – writing – all in parallel.
SKS offers kindergarten / Balavihara for kids under 5 years. Grade 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
