Community Evaluation of the Farsi School of the Iranian Cultural Society of Nova Scotia
Dr. Jessie-Lee McIsaac and doctoral student Nahal Fakhari will work with the Iranian Cultural Society of Nova Scotia (ICS) to complete an evaluation of the Farsi School, exploring the programming of the school and how it supports the students’ personal development as well as maintaining connections to Iranian culture.
The project team at ICS included Forough Parastar, Maryam Mirmoghisi and Majid Taghavi.

The Iranian Cultural Society of Nova Scotia (ICS) is a non-profit organization founded in 2002 to preserve and promote Iranian culture, art, and language. One of their key initiatives is the ICS Farsi School, which offers language classes for all ages, including children, youth, and adults in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The school aims to support the cultural identity and sense of belonging of Iranian immigrant children by providing opportunities to practice their mother tongue and connect with others from similar backgrounds.
This research will help to better understand the impact of the Farsi Schools. The findings will be shared with the community and used to improve the school curriculum to better meet the needs of its members.
