ABOUT US
Yoruba School Australia
YSA is a charity with a vision to promote the Yoruba language and culture in Australia. One of the ways YSA aims to do this is through the Yoruba language school. YSA’s classes are open to anyone and are run both face to face and online. Our school aims to bring the Yoruba Language and Culture to you in a contemporary, fun, and engaging way. We strive to immerse you in the beauty of the Yoruba values, traditions, culture, food, and way of life.
We pay our respects to the traditional owners and keepers of this land and acknowledge all elders past, present, and emerging.
