Seattle Tamizh Academy (STA) was conceived with the primary objective of teaching Tamil, an ancient South Indian Language with a very long history and rich literature to the children and young adults living in Seattle. As an extension to the teaching of Tamil, STA also sponsors cultural activities such as Music, Dance, Drama and any art form based on Tamil language and Tamil culture.

STA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is affiliated to California Tamil Academy.
