A Little History
ISSD is starting its 32nd year of service. In September of 1988, the first group of students attended the Persian classes at the All Hallows Catholic Church building in La Jolla. My predecessor Mrs. Shahri Estakhry with the help of Mrs. Mozayan Bagherzadeh and a group of enthusiastic parents established the Iranian School of San Diego. Shortly after they formed the Persian Cultural Center (PCC) as a nonprofit organization to be able to expand cultural activities and better serve the Iranian American community and the rest is history. Almost 2,000 students have attended ISSD since 1988. Last year we had 290 students approximately to learn Persian Language and Iranian culture.
PCC, our mother organization has grown as well. Peyk our bi-lingual cultural magazine reaches thousands of readers around the world. PCC has presented hundreds of cultural events, music concerts, plays, movies, etc. In 2013, PCC with the help of the community purchased and established the Iranian American Center (IAC) that has
been the Home for the community by hosting many cultural gatherings. In the past 31 years ISSD along with PCC have become two of the most successful cultural organizations outside of Iran. That by itself is a great cause for celebration.
