Chahār Bāgh School or the Chahār Bāgh Madrasa (Persian: مدرسه چهارباغ, romanized: Madreseye Chahār Bāgh, lit.'School of the Four Gardens'), also known as Madrasa Madar-i Shah, is a 17-18th century cultural complex in Isfahan, Iran.[1]

The compound was built during the time of Soltan Hossein, a Safavid king, to serve as a theological and clerical school to train those who were interested in such sciences.
