Indian Cultural Association of Pittsburgh (ICAP)
Our Students
As our mission statement states, our focus is to provide knowledge of the Hindi language and Indian culture to our students
and have been successfully doing this since the establishment of the ICAP. We attribute this success to keeping the core focus the same, with little or no change. We do adapt and assimilate necessary changes into our organization, to keep current with the cultural changes.
Our students range from the kindergarten to high school seniors. The classes are made up of students with similar knowledge level of the Hindi language and Indian culture.
