Section 1-3 – Announcement:

New Section: “Custom Persian Poetry”

Have you ever thought you can have a poem with your family members’ names in it?

Yes, now it is possible. With Mojdeh Roufeh’s magical poems, it would be possible to have your own custom poem.

Mojdeh’s Persian poetry on the occasion of weddings, engagements, etc.has truly revived the spirit of pure Persian culture and literature tens of thousands of kilometers away from our homeland, Iran.


Mojdeh Roufeh, was born in 1970 in the historic city of Esfahan in Iran. From the very beginning, her mother (who had poetic talents herself) made book her best friend, so her mind was attracted to all the folk songs, lullabies and other children’s poems and songs at the time. As a result, at age seven she developed a poetic style of writing and would attempt to rhyme like the books she had read. By age fourteen, rhyming words had led to full sentences, verses and eventually elaborate poems that caught the eye of her literature teachers and school administrators. Read more>>

Section 1-4 – Announcement:

New Section: “Online Farsi Classes”:

If you or your children do not speak, read, and write in Persian (Farsi) then you are encouraged to read on to learn more about our online Persian (Farsi) classes here.

Meet our wonderful Farsi Teacher, Farangis Lashkari:


Due to numerous requests from our art students, we are now proud to have Mrs. Lashkari as a great addition to our team!


As a former principal and teacher in Iran and bringing her precious experience throughout many years of educational experiences in Tehran and in Los Angeles, Mrs. Lashkari teaches Farsi (vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing) via live video streaming .

What are the students saying?

"Mrs. Lashgari is a wonderful teacher of the Persian language. Her lessons focus on the importance of strong fundamentals. She is comprehensive and methodical in her teaching style, ensuring that the student is trained in the language thoroughly and properly. Most important of all, she is very sweet, patient, and fun. Along with grammar and vocabulary, she ties in cultural and conversational aspects of the language making each class unique, educational, and entertaining. As the classes are via Skype, it makes for extremely convenient class times in the comfort of your own home. Taking classes with Mrs. Lashgari is the perfect way to learn the language and Persian culture. I highly recommend her lessons to any adult or child who would like to learn or improve their Farsi. "

Ashley Johnson, Miami FL


"Ms. Lashgari provided teaching resources from several different primary sources to provide a logical sequence of material to master.

Her choices regarding which initial vocabulary to teach facilitated the classroom exchange for weeks to come, and established a base of achievement that kept me excited about the prospect of further learning. She also utilized several different teaching strategies during each individual session to help reinforce learning of the grammar point that was the focus of the session, and prevent the class from becoming monotonous or overly formulaic.

I recognize that a class of a single pupil can stand as a distinct challenge, when the target language utilizes an unfamiliar alphabet, different sentence structure, and shares few (if any) cognates with the student's native tongue. In this instance, if I did not have the correct answer to a question posed by Ms. Lashgari, or failed to remember grammar details that I had seemingly mastered the previous night, there were no other students to call upon, and no alternative for her but to rephrase, re-explain, and remediate.

Ms. Lashgari was very personable during the periods of instruction, yet she remained highly professional at all times. She shared some details regarding her family and family situation in order to teach pertinent cultural lessons, but never indulged in unnecessary self-disclosure. She was accommodating when the vagaries of my professional schedule required last minute rescheduling of a session.

On her side, she was punctual for start times, and when returning from breaks, and provided as much advanced notice as possible .

In summary, Ms. Lashgari impressed me with her skill as an instructor and her enthusiasm and dedication to teaching the Persian language, and propagating knowledge of the Persian culture."

حسن زرین خط 1273–1357

استاد حسن زرین خط در سال 1273 در تهران به دنیا آمد.
