The Ghiasieh School (Persian: مدرسه غیاثیه) or the Khargerd School (Persian: مدرسه خرگرد) is an historical madrasa in Khargerd, Iran.[1]
It was built in 1444 during the reign of Shahrukh Timurid by the order of his vizier, Sheikh Ahmad Khafi. The structure is made of bricks, and consists of 4 Iwans, 8 classrooms and 32 chambers used for students to rest in.[2][3][4]
The former madrasa was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1932, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
