This building, situated opposite Pirzad School in the vicinity of Shrine, according to the writing on its portal cornice, was built in 1423 AD in the reign of Shahrokh Timurid and with the assistance of "Ghiaseddin Khajeh Bahador", one of the governors of Khorasan.
The school is four-terraced and contains booths and chambers in two floors, which are not symmetrical in shape and size.

There are Persian poems, written on Southern dome in Thulth script, which stress the non-reliability of the world and good virtues.

Dodar School was repaired in 1678, on the order of the mother of Shah Solomon Safavi.
