About Us
At Borna Farsi School, we teach Farsi classes to bilingual students using the most effective and up-to-date technology. Borna is a Farsi language school and cultural house that offers various language and cultural services, including but not limited to Farsi classes, art classes, and a number of workshops.
As a cultural, we honor Iranian/Persian culture and are committed to keeping it alive by introducing it to our new generation. Celebrating several of our Persian traditions by involving our students in the preparations of those events throughout the year not only helps us achieve this goal, but it also encourages our language learning goals. During these cultural practices, our students are motivated and encouraged to participate in our language abilities.

Fall Farsi classes
Reading
Reading provides students with knowledge of a variety of concepts, sentences, grammar, and also advances their vocabulary. While reading, students encounter new words that they would not normally use in daily spoken language. Knowing these words is key to more meaningful self-exploration in the Farsi language and a better understanding of their surroundings.
Our reading classes are offered in three categories:
Basic
Intermediate
Advanced
Before registration, we assess students' language abilities to determine which level they should be placed in.
Our speaking classes are held as follows:
Number of sessions: 15, Duration: 2 hours per session, Age group: 6 and up.
Speaking
The importance of speaking a second language is critical when it comes to communication, as it is the best tool to guarantee a successful future for our children. Speaking, as a tool, becomes specifically more important to us when it comes to the Farsi language since our new generation of Iranian-American children are in absolute need to communicate with their parents and grandparents, who are not as fluent English as their children.
Our speaking classes are divided into three categories:
Basic
Intermediate
Advanced.
We assess the students' level before registration to determine which level they can be placed in.
Our speaking classes are held as follows: Number of sessions: 15, Duration: September 7 - December 14, Session duration: 2 hours, Age group: (3-5.5) - (5.5 Plus).
Writing
At Borna, we approach writing as both an emotional and academic activity because it engages many senses for students. Practicing and learning how to write is extremely beneficial, as it requires confidence and critical thinking. In addition to advancing students' basic linguistic knowledge, such as grammar and vocabulary, our writing classes highly focus on improving students' strategic thinking.

Listening
Listening is important because it provides great insight that can be significant to those who desire to speak Farsi as their second language. The development of speaking skills would have been impossible without listening skills. Listening skills become more essential in some cultures, such as Persian culture, which functions as a connected, multigenerational culture. At Borna, we believe that listening skills are essential for our students learn. The reason falls beyond our understanding of the close bonds these children have with their grandparents, whose main duty is to pass on cultural values to the new generation through their words and stories.
