The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La construction de cette école remonte à 1892. Le bâtiment actuel, bien que fortement dégradé, ne diffère pratiquement pas de son état originel. Ainsi, tous les éléments de menuiseries et de structures semblent contemporains de la construction. Il convient de relever la qualité des murs entièrement recouverts de bardeaux de bois ainsi que celle de la charpente en bois, très travaillée. L'édifice offre une architecture traditionnelle créole : volumes simples, percements symétriques des façades, menuiseries à lames, et représente un témoin majeur de la constitution de la commune.

The construction of this school dates back to 1892. The current building, although severely deteriorated, differs practically not at all from its original state. Thus, all the carpentry and structural elements appear contemporary with the construction. It is worth noting the quality of the walls entirely covered with wooden shingles as well as that of the woodwork roof structure, very finely worked. The building offers traditional Creole architecture: simple volumes, symmetrical openings of the façades, louvred carpentry, and represents a major testimony to the development of the commune.
