About Us

History

San Antonio Tamil School (SA Tamil School) was founded in the year 2005 by few passionate parents to teach their young children their language, Tamil. Our initial goal was to teach the basics of Tamil language that will enable the children to speak in Tamil. Slowly but steadily we started to focus on systematic way of teaching Tamil to any member of the community interested in learning the language and helping them to excel in reading, writing, speaking and understanding Tamil. From the year 2010 we registered with American Tamil Academy, a Not-for Profit tax-exempt organization founded in 2009 for the main objective of developing, facilitating and sharing of Tamil language instructional materials and effective teaching curricula that is common all over USA.
