Welcome to the DIFK Kannada School.
About Us
***Our Motto is to teach our kids their mother tongue***
We started Kannada classes at DIFK in 2019 with 12 students. The classes usually take place in a class room every week. Since the pandemic struck us, we moved our classes online using ZOOM meetings every Saturday. We use the Karnataka state syllabus and work together to prepare for the Kannada examination (Hearing, Speaking, Reading & Writing) conducted by Govt. of Karnataka.
Students are very enthusiastic about learning Kannada. In 2020, all our students completed 1st year and underwent final exams, all students scored top marks and secured DIFK certificates.
