By the 1930s there were dozens of Bahai schools. Their high standards of education drew many non-Bahai students, from all sections of society. _x000D__x000D_Here Soli Shahvar assesses these forgotten schools and investigates why they proved so popular not only with Bahais, but Zoroastrians, Jews and especially Muslims.
