== History ==
The school was founded in 1952.<ref>{{Cite web |title=KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA TEHRAN |url=https://kendriyavidyalayatehran.ir/ |access-date=2025-03-21 |website=Kendriya Vidyalaya Tehran केंद्रीय विद्यालय तेहरान |language=en-US}}</ref>

It moved to its present location in central Tehran in 1952, as Indians had moved to that city. At some point its affiliation shifted to the [[Central Board of Secondary Education]] (CBSE). The after-effects of the [[Iranian Revolution]] of 1979 reduced the school's enrollment as only 60 to 65 Indian families remained in Iran. It became a [[Kendriya Vidyalaya]] in 2004.{{fact|date=September 2024}}

In a four-year period from 2008 to 2012 it had three grants, which kept the school in operation during the [[Great Recession]]. The first was 81 [[lakh]] (8,100,000) rupees from the [[Ministry of External Affairs (India)|Ministry of External Affairs of India]], the second was 2 [[crore]] (20,000,000) rupees from [[Meira Kumar]], and the third grant was 2 lakh (2,00,000) rupees sent on August 29, 2012.<ref name=teaches>{{cite news |last=Ians |date=2012-08-29 |title=Kendriya Vidyalaya Tehran teaches it all |language=en-IN |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/kendriya-vidyalaya-tehran-teaches-it-all/article3836836.ece |url-status=live |access-date=2016-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161127221838/http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/kendriya-vidyalaya-tehran-teaches-it-all/article3836836.ece |archive-date=2016-11-27 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
