One of the important needs of any society is education. Education, due to playing a greatly important role in mankind’s evolution, is of great importance.

While traditional schools were considered elements of identity and culture of cities by their own individual features and in addition to unity in principles and environmental reform, had significant variety and were constructed according to their own special local circumstances, the dominant pattern in modern schools, without paying attention to functional educational possibilities such as open space, by emphasizing on entertainment and pleasure, as small environments, conforms to patterns of residential landscaping and covered with asphalt, with some limited elements and equipment of games and physical activities (Tahersima, Irani Behbahani, & Bazrafkan, 2015). This research, in order to increase the quality of designing educational environments, by relying on persistent patterns of traditional Islamic school designs, wants to provide environments, which meet physical and spiritual needs of students in schools
