November 12, 2006, the beginning of a great program, otherwise known as Indiana Persian School. Indiana Persian School originally began with a couple of parents afraid their children would forget their language and culture. At first, only five students attended, but slowly it grew. A couple more students joined later on, increasing the class size to eight. Soon even more parents wanted their children to join, but the class was already too big. Back then, Persian School was held every Saturday or Sunday at a different house each week, having more than eight students would have caused a problem with space and most importantly, the quality of the teaching. With the word of a Persian School in Indiana passing from parents to parents, numerous dads’ and moms’ asked and pleaded to let their child enter the class, but unfortunately each time the student was turned away. From then on, the parents who founded the Persian School thought on how to solve this space problem. After a couple of weeks the idea came; to rent a building and hold weekly classes there, but with great ideas comes more problems, where to rent? Finally, after vigorous building hunting, a day care center was found with the special help of one of the parents. The original goal was only to offer two classes, but due to such high demand, the number of classes was raised to three after the first week. Soon following, Persian School started a kindergarten level with the aid and suggestion of one of the mothers, and a conversation class for adults. The Indiana Persian School goal is to teach students reading, writing, and the Persian culture, and to show that anyone, no matter what age, can learn Farsi. The success of the school was completely made possible by the special help and volunteering of the parents. Currently, there are 50 students in six classes. Our classes are presently offered in Carmel High School each Sunday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 P.M. Thank you and good luck to another successful year.
