Jeanne d'Arc School (Persian: مدرسه ژان دارک, romanized: Madrese-ye Žāndārk) was a prestigious French school for girls founded in 1900 in Tehran, Iran.[1][2] It operated until the 1979 Islamic Revolution.[2] Many members of Iran's upper classes sent their daughters to the Jeanne d'Arc School, and it offered both primary and secondary education.[2] French and English were taught as foreign languages at the Jeanne d’Arc School.[1]
