Education is
the movement from
darkness to light.

Welcome

The Lycée Privé Chrysalide (Chrysalis Private High School) is located in the town of Ivato, just outside Madagascar’s capital, Antananarivo. The school opened in September 2006 with the mission to educate a new generation of open-minded young people who love reading.

Help Keep Our School Open!

The Chrysalis School currently pays a large percentage of its monthly income to cover the rent of a school building. Due to the effects of the international economic crisis, many of our students’ parents have lost their jobs and can no longer pay school fees. As enrollment drops, it has become clear that the school cannot sustain the cost of renting a building.

In partnership with Madagascar Onboard, a US-based non-profit, the school has launched a major fundraising campaign to raise the money to buy a small piece of land and build our own school. Once we eliminate the cost of rent, all of the school's income can go to pay our teachers, expand our library and fund innovative educational projects for our students and our community. Please consider getting involved, as an individual or as part of a school or community group. Contact us for more information.

Note: Madagascar lies in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of Africa opposite Mozambique. The world’s fourth-largest island, it is twice the size of Arizona. more info
