About Us
Ryde Persian School was established in 1988 (1367 solar calendar) to teach the Persian language. We owe the existence of this cultural institution to the efforts of intellectual, wise and literate Iranians who founded this institution after a lot of hard work and maintained it during many difficult years until today in Australia.
One of the main goals of Ryde Persian School is to celebrate and promote the cultural heritage of the Iranian community in Australia regardless of race, religious beliefs and political views, and in this regard, every year Iranian cultural events and ceremonies are held with the presence and help of students and parents.
The establishment of Ryde Persian School became a model for other Persian schools that were established in Sydney after that. Therefore, this school can be considered as the first bastion of preserving the Persian language and culture in Australia.
We hope that with the help of experienced school teachers who have completed valid training courses in Australian educational institutions, we will have the opportunity to provide positive and effective services for the Iranian and indeed all the Persian communities in New South Wales.
In honor of the founders of this institution who have dedicated themselves to this work, we take this opportunity and express our deepest gratitude to those individuals.
