Saint Louis School, French Catholic educational institution in Tehran, Iran
Saint Louis School stands at coordinates 35.6886° N and 51.4214° E, providing both elementary and high school education in Persian and French languages.
The Lazarist Catholic missionaries established Saint Louis School in 1862, marking the beginning of French Catholic education in Tehran's Lalehzar district.
The school produced notable Iranian intellectuals, including poet Nima Yooshij and writer Sadegh Hedayat, who shaped Persian literature in the 20th century.
The institution operated as a boys' school with over 150 students, offering scientific and language education without implementing physical punishment methods.
In 1940, Reza Shah ordered the school to change its name to Tehran School, but it returned to Saint Louis after his departure.
