Bharati A Brief History Shishu Bharati was founded by a small group of parents who had immigrated to the U.S. from India and wanted to pass on the knowledge of their mother tongue and rich cultural heritage to their children. The need for classes in the Indian languages had become apparent when the children growing up in the United States had to communicate with relatives and friends here or in India who did not speak English. These parents formed a small study group for their children. It gathered every Sunday in the home of one of the parents. Volunteers taught the group about India's cultural heritage and Indian languages.
Indian culture is an important piece of the mosaic formed by the American scene today.
Our school is a bridge between the cultures of America and India where ideas can be exchanged freely from either side.
