Jeanne d'Arc School was a prestigious French-language school for girls in Tehran, founded in 1900 and operating until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Located in District 12, the building exemplifies Pahlavi-era architecture, designed by Nikolai Markov and constructed from brick, tile, and mortar. The institution attracted daughters of Iran's upper classes, offering primary and secondary education with instruction in French and English as foreign languages, cementing its place as a significant cultural institution in early twentieth-century Tehran.
