In the year
1973, the Iranian Minister of Education became interested in adopting a
progressive education system during an official trip to Europe. Upon her return
to Iran, she helped foster and fund a similar curriculum for a newly built
school in Tehran called, Jamehe’ Tehran High School under the supervision
of Mr. Sartipi as its principal which soon, the torch to lead the school was passed on
to Mr. Mansour Abassi after one year.
The school in Tehran was run as a model and one-of-a-kind
government sponsored coeducational teaching 48 hours (versus 40
hours) of both standard nationwide curriculum and a select technical field
chosen by each student based on the newly adopted 4 year high school system.Due to special interest and scrutiny of the Minister, the educators
selected for this school was some of the best within the education system.
After some administrative adjustments, Jamehe’ Esmaeil Mortazavi Borazjani Shemiran High School
was relocated from Tajrish to a newly built location in Dolat Street near Qanat intersection.
In 2007, the Phoenix of Jameh rose from ashes once again when its Alumni living in USA started to find
one another and coalesce into a formal group. It became the platform for Jameh phenomenon both abroad and in Iran.
In 2011, Jameh High School Alumni who lived in Iran also decided to organize
after witnessing many successful reunions in USA.
Jameh High School Alumni with close cooperation with the Hami Non Governmental Organization,
which has a strong presence in identifying, facilitating resources and completing projects
through their cooperation with both governmental and non-governmental agencies throughout Iran has run the following projects:
