International Schools in Tehran, Iran

International schools in Tehran form a small, mixed sector: there are embassy and community schools that serve particular national groups (Korean, Pakistani, Indian and Russian communities among them) alongside privately run English-medium schools and a few schools offering parts of the International Baccalaureate. Curricula you are likely to encounter include embassy national curricula (French, German), Indian CBSE, IB programmes in some schools, and bespoke English-medium programmes; Persian (Farsi) is taught widely even where instruction is mainly in another language. Published fee information is often incomplete and inconsistent across directories, with third-party listings suggesting annual day fees in the low thousands for some schools, so families should request up-to-date, grade-by-grade fee schedules and ask about extras such as transport and exam charges. Admissions rhythms vary by school: embassy and community schools often operate their own enrolment rules and timetables, private internationals usually follow the enquiry → application → assessment pattern, and foreign children registering in Iranian schools will normally need immigration-related paperwork (a CAFIA/Ministry of Interior introduction or equivalent) so allow extra time for documentation and approvals.
