Language Preservation
Marathi taught with love, not obligation.
Where heritage meets modern education
सुस्वागतम्
Not just a language school.
A living heritage.
Australian Marathi Vidyalaya is a community-driven educational institution operating across Melbourne and Sydney, established to preserve the Marathi language and Maharashtrian culture among the diaspora.We believe culture is best passed through joy — through poetry recitals, traditional dance, Diwali celebrations, and the simple pleasure of a child reading Marathi stories at the dinner table.

Our Story
Founded by a group of parents and educators who felt the growing silence of Marathi in Australian homes, the school grew from a small kitchen-table class into a structured institution serving hundreds of students.Today, we remain volunteer-led, guided by teachers who understand both pedagogy and the emotional importance of heritage. We are not a business — we are a community investment in the next generation.
“When a child speaks Marathi confidently, they are not just using words — they are carrying a civilisation forward.”
