The population was all teachers' and students in Tehran in the academic year of 2008-09 out of whom 494 were selected as sample. Research tool was Manavipour’s School Mission Scale. Results showed that people with varying educational levels have statistically different viewpoints regarding school mission in individual, social, political and economic factors, but do not have statistically significant differences in religious and moral factors. There is also a significant difference between women’s and men’s view regarding school mission except in political factor.
