About Us - Paadasala Malayalam School

Our History

Paadasala Malayalam School Sydney was established in 2014 by a group of passionate volunteers dedicated to preserving the Malayalam language and culture. Over the past 12 years, we have grown from a small group into a thriving community school that serves as a cultural hub for Malayalees in Sydney.

Our Mission

Our aim is to create an affinity for the Malayalam language among students and help them connect with the rich heritage of Kerala. We believe that language is the key to culture, and by teaching Malayalam, we open doors to a deeper understanding of our roots.

We follow a unique syllabus that integrates the traditional language education system with modern, speech-based learning techniques designed for children growing up in Australia.
