Nikan High School

Nikan High School is a boys-only school located in the north of Tehran, Iran. Nikan is an ancient Persian-Zorastrian name meaning "all the goodness in the world".

Hundreds of members of the Iranian political or religious elite have sent their sons to this school, which is famous for its high quality education in math, physics, and natural sciences, as well as an emphasis on Shia religious values and teachings.

The school is closely associated with Alavi High School.

Nikan graduates have strong ties and form communities in different parts of the world specially in Europe and North America. Each class has a designated number called "doreh" which shows the number of years from the foundation of the school after which the class entered the first grade (primary school).

    Of memory, blind school of cuttlefish,
    Rise to the air, plunge to the cold streams....
