Hendrikschool, Historic school building in Paramaribo, Suriname

The Hendrikschool stretches across multiple buildings on Henck Arronstraat, featuring large roofs and wide galleries designed for natural ventilation and light.

Founded in 1887 through the merger of three private schools, Hendrikschool opened its doors under the leadership of first director J.J. Heilbron.

The institution counts among its graduates notable figures such as President Johan Ferrier, pianist Majoie Hajary, and artist Erwin de Vries.

Located at the end of Henck Arronstraat in central Paramaribo, the school maintains its original function as an educational institution for local students.

The main building, constructed in 1887, features seven horizontal sections and three depth levels, with a metal sheet roof behind its profiled cornice.
