What Parents Say About Alefba Academy
Since my daughter started Alefba's painting class she's become so much more confident. She used to be afraid of making mistakes — now she colours away with a big smile and tells stories.
My son didn't know Persian and felt embarrassed about it. Now he reads stories with the instructors and has memorised poems. Alefba truly worked a miracle!
The class environment is fantastic. The small group size means the instructor gives real attention to every child. My daughter looks forward to class every single week!
