Jeanne d'Arc School

The Jeanne d'Arc School building incorporates brick, mortar, and tile construction methods following the Pahlavi architectural style designed by Nikolai Markov.

Founded in 1865 by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, the school began as an educational center for orphaned girls on Manuchehri street.

The institution provided education in French and English languages, serving students from various backgrounds until its closure in 1979 following the Islamic Revolution.

Located in Tehran's District 12, the school facility underwent extensive renovation and received an official reopening in 2000 as an Iranian National Heritage site.

The school reached its peak enrollment of 1,600 students in 1979, preparing many students who later continued their education at Lycée Razi or international institutions.
