Introductory to International Schools in Tehran

German embassy school in Tehran

Immigration to different countries brings many concerns. Distance from family, loneliness, cultural differences and the difficulty of learning the language of that country are among these. In addition, there are additional concerns for parents who are migrating with their children:

  • How children can study in the new country.
  • How to learn the language of the new country.
  • How to communicate with their peers.
  • Whether they can quickly work in groups and enter the community and things like that.

One of the most critical issues is the choice of school for children.

If you plan to travel to Tehran with your family and stay for a long time, you may be worried about your children studying in Tehran. Which school or college you send your children to and whether the level of education in these schools is suitable for your children is one of the questions that may have formed in your mind. In this article, we want to introduce you to some international schools in Tehran. So be with us.
Tehran, the capital of Iran, is a big city where international schools in different languages are ready to provide services to you. Education in Iran, like other countries, is of great importance. There are about ten international schools and 48 special schools for foreign nationals in Iran, and more than 480,000 international students are studying in Iran. In general, education can be considered the most critical social pillar and corpus of society that any damage to it causes damage to other sectors. Education is very important and decisive in developing communities, to the extent that Danton, one of the architects of the Great French Revolution, says, “After bread, education is the first need of nations.” The expansion and development of education in societies provide the necessary grounds for socioeconomic consequences.

Here we provide you with a list of international schools with the information you need.

This primary school consists of 3 sections: preschool, comparative primary school, and international primary school.
