Languages
As part of the Bala Vihar membership, we provide members with the opportunity to learn various Indian languages, fostering both conversational skills and an introduction to the written script. Classes are held every Sunday from 10:40 AM to 11:40 AM in Andover and are structured by skill level rather than age. We offer instruction in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, , and Sanskrit, with an additional Sanskrit class available for adults during the same time.
Our language program emphasizes building practical communication skills while gradually introducing students to the written forms of the language. Teachers will assess students during the initial weeks of the course to ensure they are placed in the most appropriate level for their abilities.
Signing up is easy! When registering your child for Bala Vihar, simply indicate the desired language and level of learning. This ensures a personalized learning experience that aligns with each student’s proficiency, setting them up for success from the very beginning.
