schools in santiago
I have kids in two schools in santiago:
New Horizons
this is an affiliate of the new horizons in santo domingo but is much smaller (Pre-k2 through 7th grade next year--adding a grade each year)and NOT accredited yet, although they try to follow many of the same programs and policies.
bilingual with english (taught as a second language,) math in english one semester (spanish in the other) and science in english at least one semester, and reading in english. social studies concentrates on caribbean and latin american studies (not u.s. history.)
located in los gardines
tuition $3200US ($113,500 RD) not including admission and testing fees
Santiago Christian School
to my knowledge the only fully U.S. accredited school in santiago. all classes are in english with most teachers from the US (pre-k3 through 12th grade) although all students must take spanish as either a second or first language and dominican students must take Dominican social studies/history in spanish. The majority of students are dominican, about 25% are from the US with no dominican parent. This school is very similar to what you would find in the states in terms of classroom order, homework worksheets, etc. This is an evangelical school but the majority of students are Catholic. bible classes are required.
located off the autopista near the rica plant just past the new hospital
tuition (Includes registration fees but not admission fees or multi child discounts)
pK $87034($2719 US)
kinder-5th $114940RD ($3591us)
6TH-8TH $$164,191 rd ($5130 us)
If you need more specific info on either school feel free to pm me!
