Overview

The Chicago Persian School is a registered non-profit organization with no affiliation to any political or religious groups. Grants, donations, and school tuition are the sole sources of income. The registration and participation is voluntary and open to anyone with an interest in Persian language or culture. The main mission of Chicago Persian School is to provide a memorable and pleasant “Persian language” learning opportunity for a younger generation of Iranian descent and any interested non-Iranian. Chicago Persian School does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, or ethnic origin in the administration of its admission and educational programs, and other school activities. 

The founders of Chicago Persian School feel very strongly towards promoting, encouraging, and fostering Iranian culture and heritage specifically through teaching Persian language (reading and writing) and Farsi speaking, and generally through enrichment classes and seasonal and traditional events celebration. The extent of such enrichment classes will depend upon the interests of the participating community. Chicago Persian School is created with the hope of instilling a love of Persian culture and language in the new generation, a respect for Iran’s rich history and heritage, and an open mind toward all the various religious and ethnic ways of life within Iranian community.
