Indian Culture Classes for Kids in Leicester
Indian culture, explained rather than just observed
Children take part in festivals every year without ever being told what they are doing. They light lamps at Diwali, tie a rakhi, eat during Sankranti, and nobody explains the reason because everyone assumes they absorbed it. This class is the explanation — festival by festival, custom by custom, with the story and the reasoning behind each.

Indian culture, explained rather than just observed
Our epics classes go deep into one text over a year. This one goes wide: the festival calendar, the reason behind everyday customs, regional differences, the food, the art, the why. It is the right starting point for a child, often an NRI child, who is curious about all of it and does not know where to begin.
Leicester has one of the oldest and most settled Indian communities in Britain, and that changes what parents want from us. Families here are often third-generation, and the request is usually to recover something a grandparent had rather than to maintain something the household still practises.
The festival year explained, in the order it happens
Everyday customs given their actual reasons
Regional variation covered, not one region as default
Especially valuable for children growing up abroad
Language, food, art and dress alongside the stories
Confidence to explain their own culture to friends
Batch timings for Leicester
Live classes on GMT/BST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 4:30 to 7:00 PM UK after school, and Saturday mornings. Leicester shares timings with our London batches, and children from both usually sit together.
Belgrave and the surrounding wards are where most of our Leicester families are, with others across the East Midlands. We are asked more often here than anywhere else in the UK for classes that a grandparent can sit in on, and that is welcome.
What your child walks away able to do
A child who can explain why a festival is kept, not just how
Familiarity with the calendar and its logic
Pride that comes from knowledge rather than instruction
The ability to answer a classmate’s question without embarrassment

Explaining It Yourself
Each child presents one festival or custom to the batch, which is where the knowledge becomes theirs.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For indian culture classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the trial to what they can already do.
2. Free trial with a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for GMT/BST. Weekday 4:30 to 7:00 PM UK after school, and Saturday mornings.
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”
Indian Culture Classes for Kids in Leicester, FAQs
A large part of the batch usually is. Children abroad get the celebration without the explanation, and they are the ones most often asked to explain it at school. This class is built to close that gap.
