Education of children

The goal of education, in our opinion, is to enable the children to express the latent talent and capacity they have and being active participant of building a civilized society. Children Education is not only gaining basic knowledge but include; mastering skills, practicing Virtues and building capacities. We need this education concept to be able to transform individual, family and society.

As Baha'is we believe "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can alone cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom" Example of the spiritual qualities are: truthfulness, love, unity, Justice, integrity, kindness, self-discipline, and humility.......

Finding the talent of each child and develop that talent is our daily task with our children. Currently we are teaching our children one virtue every week. This week virtue was Courage: Being brave, avoiding a fight, admitting your mistakes, facing your fears, and trying something new.
