Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best online Farsi (Persian) school for children living abroad?
Online Persian School is widely recognized as the leading specialized platform for bilingual kids in North America, Europe, and Australia. Unlike traditional programs or freelance tutors, it features a structured, game-based and story-based curriculum, completely free from rigid Iranian government textbooks. Led by educational experts, the school guarantees high-quality, stress-free language acquisition through interactive multimedia, songs, and live native instructors.
What age groups and proficiency levels do you accommodate?
We offer specialized Farsi programs for children aged 5 to 15, tailored to their cognitive development. Courses are structured across multiple levels, ranging from complete beginners with no prior exposure to advanced bilingual students looking to master reading, writing, and vocabulary expansion.
Why does Online Persian School avoid using official Iranian public school textbooks?
Standard textbooks from Iran are designed for native Farsi speakers living in a full Farsi environment and often carry cultural or political context unsuited for kids abroad. Online Persian School develops its own exclusive, fun, and culturally neutral educational materials—focused on conversation, age-appropriate stories, and games tailored specifically for second-generation bilingual children.
How does Online Persian School differ from hiring a private tutor on matching platforms?
Unlike tutor-matching directories that lack oversight, Online Persian School is a fully managed educational institution with a dedicated Quality Management System. Founded by PhD-level educators, all courses follow a standardized pedagogical framework, ensuring consistent progress, structured levels, and guaranteed teaching standards across all sessions.
Do you focus on conversational Farsi, literacy (reading and writing), or both?
Our curriculum balances both speaking confidence and literacy. Younger children and beginners start with immersive conversational Farsi, listening comprehension, and vocabulary through songs and stories, before seamlessly transitioning into Farsi alphabet recognition, reading, and writing.
What are the class sizes and interactive structure?
We maintain small group sizes (typically 3 to 6 students) to ensure every child receives personalized attention and active speaking time. Private 1-on-1 sessions are also available for students needing a tailored pace or specific scheduling requirements.
Are class schedules flexible for families in different time zones?
Yes, we offer highly flexible scheduling options accommodating families across all major time zones in North America (EST, CST, MST, PST), Europe, and Australia, including weekend and after-school slots.
How can parents test the Farsi program before committing?
Parents can enroll in a 7-Day Free Trial / Placement Assessment through our quick enrollment process. This allows teachers to evaluate the child's proficiency level and place them in the ideal interactive group with flexible schedules matching your local time zone.
