Lycée Andohalo Antananarivo

Lycée Andohalo is a secondary school in Antananarivo featuring a five-story main building with two side wings, an amphitheater, laboratory spaces, and a basketball court. The complex was designed to accommodate hundreds of students and provides spaces for various types of teaching and activities.

The institution was founded in 1908 as Collège de garçons de Tananarive, starting with just seven students under French colonial administration. Growing demand for education led to significant expansion by 1923, when the school attracted hundreds of learners.

The school's name carries deep meaning in the Malagasy language, reflecting the values that guide the institution. Visitors can sense this purpose in the daily activities and spaces where education and community life take place.

The amphitheater serves as the central gathering space for assemblies and events on the grounds. Note that classes are held during school hours, so access to classroom areas may be restricted during these times.

The amphitheater space hosted the proclamation of the Madagascan Republic in 1958 and witnessed the first public performance of the national anthem. This historical site connects the school's story with a defining moment in the nation's past.
