- Tehran Community School
- Description
- Community School was a Presbyterian boarding school in Tehran, Iran, from 1935 to 1980. What began as a school for “mish kids” (the children of Presbyterian missionaries) eventually enrolled Americans of all backgrounds; English-speaking students of dozens of nationalities and different faiths; and, of course, Iranians, who constituted most of the student body by the 1960s. The faculty and staff were just as diverse. At its height in the 1970s, some 1,500 students attended Community School each year. This collection includes oral histories with alumni and faculty who attended the school as well as photographs and floor plans. Featured image: Southwest view of Tehran Community School.
