A Language School
Built Like a Community
At Chicago Persian School, kids and adults don’t just learn Persian; they build pride, connection, and a lifelong bond with their culture.
Here’s what makes us different.
Comprehend and Speak
An approach rooted in comprehension means students actually underestand Persian, in real life, at the table, with family.
A warm, welcoming home
Heritage families, multicultural families, and total beginners all belong here. No pressure, no judgment.
Real Teachers, Innovative Curriculum
Seven structured langauge levels and experienced instructors, not an app, not a video library.
Three ways to learn online
All programs are also available in person. Choose the format that fits your family.

Learn alongside peers in a lively small-group class. Best for social motivation and steady progress.

FAQ
Q Do we need any Persian education to start?
Not at all. We welcome complete beginners of every age and background. Many families start from zero.
Q What ages do you teach?
For in-person classes, ages 3 through adults, and for online classes, ages 7 through adults. There’s a dedicated program for every stage, plus teens and adults, on a literacy or conversation track.
Q When do Fall classes start?
Our group classes begin in September. Online private classes can start anytime; you're not tied to a September date. Registering early helps secure your preferred class and schedule.
Q How do online classes work?
Live video sessions with a real teacher. You’ll get everything you need after you register.
Q For Online Classes which one; Group, semi-private, or private?
Group is social and most popular, but contingent on a minimum enrolment requirement (4); semi-private is ideal for 2-3 relatives or friends who want to study together; private is fully tailored.
