In 1907, a French-medium school was opened on Rua da Emenda by the Société de l’École Française de Lisbonne. In 1917 the school moved to Pátio do Tijolo in the Braancamp Palace near Largo do Rato, purchased that year by the Société de l’École Française de Lisbonne. In 1952, the school moved to its current location.
The school is named after Professor Charles Lepierre (1867-1945), a chemical engineer who graduated from the École de Physique et Chimie Industrielle de Paris, who was a student of Pierre Curie and who moved to Portugal in 1888. He was a University Professor at Coimbra University initially, at the micro-biology laboratory, then at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon. His areas of research were chemistry, micro-biology and public health. He was responsible for founding the first industrial chemical engineering course in Portugal.
It is directly operated by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE),[2] an agency under the French foreign ministry. The school follows the official instructions of France's Ministry of National Education.
