NOOR FARSI SCHOOL / ABOUT US

Language. Roots. Belonging.

A welcoming school where children learn Persian with joy, meaning, and friendship—and grow closer to their family’s language and culture.

Our history & roots

Noor Farsi School, based at Noor Center of Chicagoland in Naperville, provides a place for Persian learning and family connection. Its identity centers on welcoming classes, storytelling, and a shared connection to Iranian culture.

What we build together

Our Sunday programme brings speaking, listening, reading, and writing together with poems, play, and stories. Children and families are part of a community that connects language with everyday experience and friendship.
