Online Slokas Classes for Kids in Vancouver
Slokas learned the way a grandparent would teach them
Most families come to us because someone at home used to teach the child slokas and cannot any more — a grandparent in another city, a routine that lapsed when school got harder. We pick that thread back up. Small batch, one mentor, learning by ear and repetition, in the same unhurried way it has always been passed down.

Slokas learned the way a grandparent would teach them
We spell it "shloka" elsewhere on this site and "sloka" here because both are how families write it, and it is the same class either way. What matters is that this version leans on the oral tradition: listen, repeat, be corrected, repeat again. Worksheets come a long way second.
Greater Vancouver has one of the oldest South Asian communities in North America, with a large Punjabi Sikh population centred in Surrey and a significant Indo-Fijian community whose families came via Fiji. Hindu families here are a smaller part of a very large South Asian whole, and parents often tell us the shloka and Gita side is the thing hardest to find locally.

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For online slokas classes for kids that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from 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 PT. Saturday and Sunday mornings Pacific and weekday 6:00 to 7:30 PM Pacific, which is the Indian early morning.
“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.”
Online Slokas Classes for Kids in Vancouver, FAQs
They are welcome, and quite a few do. Because the class is online, a grandparent in another city or country can sit in on the same call, which is often the reason a family started looking in the first place.
