4 unusual facts about Damavand College


Damavand College

Damavand College takes its name from the beautiful Mount Damavand which rises out of the Alborz Range north of the city of Tehran.

From 1968 to 1979, Damavand College was served by three presidents, and Mary C. Thompson was the academic Dean all through the years.

Sage College, Alborz College, and Iran Bethel School which was established in 1874 were institutions founded under the auspices of this mission.

Iran Bethel School

Without the Iran Bethel school and the efforts of Jane Doolittle and Frances M. Gray, Damavand College could have never been established and the improvement of the early deprived Iranian women of Qajar and later Pahlavi dynasty could have never been achieved.


Jane Doolittle

Jane Doolittle served for many years as the principal of Iran Bethel School for Girls which was the immediate forerunner of Damavand College.
