About MSTS Tamil School
Welcome to the Mid South Tamil Sangam (MSTS) Tamil School, a part of Mid South Tamil Sangam (MSTS) and a registered 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. Inspired by the words of Kaniyan Poongundranar “யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்” (To us all towns are ours, everyone is our kin) Tamilians are always spreading wings in all corners of the world. Wherever we go we carry our precious language, culture and traditions with us. Tamil is one of the ancient and longest surviving classical languages in the world and Tamil literature has existed for over 2000 years. We take pride in that and are taking every possible effort to take this forward.
MSTS Tamil School was founded in 2011 with few students and has grown rapidly ever since. We are currently affiliated to the ATA (American Tamil Academy) and follow a curriculum devised by them for grades Mazhalai to Nilai 5. The school is run by a team of 17 dedicated teachers and administrative personnel/staff who work hard for this noble cause. MSTS Tamil School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, athletic and other school administered programs.
Curriculum is designed based on our culture as well as popular activities, festivals and games in America.
We also offer classes in Tamil Isai, Yoga, Parai and Silambam on a seasonal basis.
Every year we conduct Tamil Bee Competitions and distribute prizes. The kids will be quizzed on Thirukkural, Tamil speaking, singing, writing and comprehension etc.
