Malayalam Class & Cultural Awareness Program
KCS Kalari, as an accredited member of Malayalam Mission of the government of Kerala, supports the Malayalam Mission’s goal of spreading Malayalam language and culture all over the world.
KCS Kalari currently has 4 centers in the DMV with over 200 students. New classes start in September of each year.
KCS Kalari classes start on Friday, September 16th, for AY2022-23.
Please complete and submit this form for each child you would like to register to attend the KCS Kalari.
The registration for this year is closed officially by September 18, 2022.
(Note: If a center reaches its capacity for student-teacher ratio, then it may close the registration at that time.)
However, if you are genuinely interested in joining, please register and inform one of the teachers so they are able to add you to the right group for communications.
We would like every child to learn Malayalam and if you need help with the registration fee, please contact us.
