Marie Sklodowska Curie Metropolitan High School is a public 4–year magnet high school located in the Archer Heights neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Curie is operated by Chicago Public Schools district. The school has a Technical, Performing Arts, and International Baccalaureate Programme.

The project was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[8] As of 2014 Curie Metropolitan High School has been on Chicago Public Schools academic probation for 5 years.[9]

At the end of grades 11 and 12, students sit for world-wide IB examinations. Based on their exam and other assessment scores, students may be awarded university credit for their IB course work at Curie. Each university has its own policy regarding credit awarded for IB scores. Students also take several AP courses during their four years at Curie.
