Avesta Classes for kids high-school-age and younger will be held in-person starting September 27th at the Kamran Dar-e Mehr in Boyds, MD. Attending Avesta classes each month is a good opportunity for our children to stay connected with their Zarthushti friends and peers while continuing to learn about our religion and traditions.
Doors open for Avesta Class at 10:30am. Class will start at 10:45am, with a group visit to the prayer room. Age/grade level classes will break out immediately after and will run until 12pm. Snacks will be provided at Noon; families are asked to contribute a $25 snack fee per child to cover the costs of snacks for the entire year. The snack fee will be collected by Mahnaz Marolia at first class.

ZAMWI does not charge for classes, and ZAMWI membership is not required for your children to attend Avesta Classes. However, it is highly recommended that your family supports ZAMWI and the Kamran Dar-e Mehr while your children are enrolled in classes by becoming a member or donating for the 2026 and 2027 membership years.
Reach out to ZAMWI-teachers@googlegroups.com with any questions or if you’d like to volunteer.
