CLASSES ARE NOW IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL

IAS is always most proud of its Ferdowsi Schools located in Long Island, Westchester, Brooklyn and its most recent Ferdowsi Farsi Classes for Adults. Our Ferdowsi Farsi Schools have always been the jewel of our organization and the most important part of our mission since 1990. The Ferdowsi Schools primary goal is expanding the Persian (Farsi) language, the arts, and our heritage by teaching our children from the very young age of four (4) until the time they graduate. Our students celebrate Persian cultural events that are thousands of years old, such as Nowruz, Yalda, Mehregan, and are taught the meaning and importance of each to pass on from generation to generation. Moreover, our Ferdowsi Farsi Schools also provide students with arts classes which relate to our Persian culture, such as mosaic art and music classes with traditional Persian instruments. These introductions to our students have proven to last with them for a lifetime. We have had student reunions where we are told by former students of the many activities that they will never forget and will undoubtedly pass on to the next generation. Some of the Ferdowsi Farsi School’s students have gone on to become members of the Board of Directors of IAS which is an attribute of them maintaining their love for the Persian language, culture and people. We hope to provide more and more classes with language and different variations of the arts in order to pass our beautiful and unique traditions to the next generations to come.
