About us - MTO International Persian School

We are MTO® International Persian School, one of the largest global Persian language institutions, with an array of experienced teachers holding over 30 years of experience. We offer Farsi language courses in-person and online to children and adults around the world.

History

The school began in 1991 with a handful of students in Toronto and Vancouver. By 1995 the school opened additional centers in Dallas, Houston, London, Duesseldorf and Nice. Following this international success, we also became established in Atlanta, Los Angeles Minneapolis, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Barcelona and Rome. Since 2020, we have expanded our horizon and we are committed more than ever to provide online services to any individuals aiming to learn Farsi anywhere in the world.

Aim

Our mission is to provide a friendly and effective environment for eager individuals from all backgrounds to learn Farsi and to preserve the culture, literature and authentic traditions of Iran and other Farsi-speaking nations. To achieve this goal, cultural programs are organised which consist of students performing music, singing, dances, poetry and theatrical performances. We pride ourselves in creating a safe and family-oriented environment across our centers worldwide. Many of our students make life-long friends and stay in touch even after graduating. Some alumni return to volunteer to give back to the community the values and skills they’ve learnt from the school.

Our Team

Our line of committed teachers and personnel consist of experienced and highly motivated individuals who are trained in the field of teaching Farsi and education. We make it our utmost priority to teach our students with kindness, respect and compassion.

Diversity and Inclusivity
