Future Vision of Hafez School
Hafez School, considering the profound changes in today’s world and the increasing impact of technology on daily life, has developed a comprehensive plan for expanding its activities and services. This vision not only addresses current challenges but also paves the way for a bright future in promoting the Persian language and culture globally.
Current Changes and Benefits
One of the greatest challenges in the past was the distance and remoteness of families from the school’s location. With the implementation of virtual classes, this issue has been resolved, enabling students from different cities and countries around the world to participate. This transformation has opened new doors for expanding the Persian language and Iranian culture.
Development Plans for the Future
With a long-term perspective and a focus on creating new opportunities, Hafez School aims to achieve the following goals in the future:
Expanding Collaboration with Expert Iranian Educators
Building partnerships with renowned educators and specialists in Persian language and literature from Iran to enhance the quality of instruction and curriculum design. This collaboration aims to introduce students to advanced linguistic techniques, classical and modern Persian literature, and cultural nuances, fostering a richer understanding of their heritage.
Establishing Connections with Cultural Centers
Developing robust relationships with cultural institutions in Iran and internationally to organize joint events such as literary festivals, workshops, and exhibitions. These collaborations will also facilitate access to educational resources, guest lectures from cultural ambassadors, and exchange programs that enrich the student learning experience.
Working Closely with Similar Schools in the UK
Providing mentorship and resources to Persian educators and initiatives in the UK for setting up similar schools in underserved regions. This includes sharing best practices, creating a unified Persian curriculum, and establishing a network of schools that collectively promote Persian education while addressing the unique needs of the local Persian-speaking communities.
Offering English and Math Classes
Launching tailored English and Math courses designed to complement students’ mainstream school education. These programs will focus on strengthening core skills, boosting confidence in academic subjects, and helping students achieve better results in standardized tests and classroom assessments. Emphasis will also be placed on integrating these subjects with critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Enhancing Online Learning Platforms
Expanding virtual class offerings to reach students globally, particularly in regions without access to Persian schools. By leveraging advanced e-learning technologies, the school will provide interactive lessons, cultural immersion activities, and personalized feedback to ensure high-quality remote learning experiences.
Providing Persian Books for Children and Young People Abroad
Creating and distributing Persian books specifically designed for children and young people living outside Iran, with content that resonates with their unique experiences and bridges the cultural gap. These books will focus on Persian language development, storytelling, and cultural themes that connect young readers to their heritage while reflecting the realities of their lives in a multicultural environment.
Promoting Persian Art and Music
Introducing extracurricular programs focused on Persian art, calligraphy, and traditional music to provide students with a well-rounded education. These activities will help preserve and celebrate Persian cultural heritage while inspiring creativity and a sense of identity among students.
Ultimate Goal
Hafez School envisions its mission as creating a deeper connection between Persian speakers and their cultural roots. It strives to provide more opportunities for learning the Persian language and culture, bringing future generations closer to their identity and heritage.

باز جوید روزگار وصل خویش

Will long for the days of reunion with them.”
