Our Level System
Our Educational Packages
These packages do not apply to the advanced literature classes; The tuition for 34 sessions of literature classes is $400.
Level One
Our level one curriculum is designed for kids who are in or starting kindergarten. Kids will follow a fun character: sibilak, an adventurous cat (with long sibils) who will guide them through an adventure about learning the sounds of the world around them, which will ultimately develop the cognitive skills they need to be able to learn the alphabet. The level one course is designed to help kids learn that each word is made up of different sounds and letters. The course includes weekly pre-recorded lessons and crafts, as well as homework for throughout the week. Kids also have the option to tune in to our weekly live sessions which are designed to review materials with fun games and stories.
Level Two
Our level two curriculum is designed to teach half of the Farsi alphabet throughout the course of one school year. Based on our teaching experience, learning the alphabet is the most crucial step in the Farsi learning process, and therefore we split the alphabet up into two years to make sure that kids have a strong foundation. The class also focuses on learning and memorizing short kid-friendly poems. Every class includes a section of poetry, learning the letter of the week, as well as a short story that also integrates the letter learned that week. The aim of this class is to teach half the alphabet, an introduction to reading and writing, and to teach kids to love to read and listen to Farsi stories. Kids also have the option to tune in to our weekly live sessions which are designed review materials with fun games and stories.
Level Three
Our level three class is an extension of level two. Our curriculum is designed to teach the rest of the Farsi alphabet throughout the course of one school year. The class also focuses on learning and memorizing short kid-friendly poems. Every class includes a section of poetry, learning the letter of the week, as well as a short story that also integrates the letter learned that week. The aim of this class is to teach the remaining letters of the alphabet, an introduction to reading and writing, and to teach kids to love to read and listen to Farsi stories. Kids also have the option to tune in to our weekly live sessions which are designed review materials with fun games and stories.
