Samskritam For Children

सरलं संस्कृतम् । मधुरं संस्कृतम् । बालानां संस्कृतम् ।

Samskrita Bharati USA is a non-profit volunteer run organization that was founded in India (1983) and came to the USA in 1995. Through hundreds of spoken Samskritam workshops, classes and camps implemented by a small group of energetic and dedicated volunteers, this grass-root effort has grown since 1995 to bring a vibrant energy, awareness and movement around spoken Samskritam in the USA.

Samskritam for Children

Vision and Goals

बालशिक्षणम्

First step of Samskritam for Children is designed for children K through 7th grade.

An 8-year high quality, systematic, interactive and child-friendly curriculum has been designed for children to get an in-depth understanding and competency in 5 components of Samskritam language - listening, remembering, speaking, reading and writing and through this learn to appreciate and understand our rich SamskritiH.

The purpose and vision of Samskritam for Children is to scaffold children to discover the joy and love for Samskritam by setting language learning within the framework of an intuitive and well structured curriculum implemented in classes filled with interaction, fun child-friendly environments held together by deep, long lasting, respectful and loving relationships between teachers, children and families as the foundation.

Dedicated experienced volunteer-teachers support this understanding via in person and online classes every week at our Samskrita Kendrams (50 SBUSA chapters across USA).

Our unique, high quality 8-year curriculum is set up to develop curiosity and systematically guide our children to discover the beauty of Samskritam language, read, write and speak it with age-appropriate fluency and thereby access our Samskriti treasures independently in the future as a fluent speaker.

किशोरशिक्षणम्

Second step of Samskritam for Children is designed for children 8th-12th grade.

All children as rising 8th graders, whether they started learning Samskritam with Samskrita Bharati since their preschool days or those who just have discovered it, are encouraged to join the Samskritam as a Foreign Language (SAFL) program specifically designed for middle/high school students.
