The next generation of global citizens must be rooted in cultural identity, equipped with language skills, and shaped by empathy, discipline, and a deep appreciation for heritage.

At Tholkappiyar Tamil School, we are committed to nurturing these qualities by offering an immersive, academically rigorous, and community-anchored Tamil language education.

As an initiative of Tamil Sangam Hampton Roads, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and fully accredited by ACS WASC (Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, California, USA), our school prepares students not just to speak Tamil — but to live it with confidence, connection, and clarity.

Located in the heart of Hampton Roads, Virginia, our school offers a warm, enriching environment where students grow in both language and leadership. Following the structured curriculum of the American Tamil Academy (ATA), our classes emphasize listening, reading, writing, and speaking Tamil — while also celebrating the literature, history, and timeless values of Tamil culture.
