Santo Domingo - School Report Question and Answers

Are other schools available to expatriates in this city? Why did you choose this particular school?

Pre-Escolar is the most traditional pre-school Montessori in Santo Domingo. In fact, it is the feeder school for Primaria Montessori (the primary aged Montessori for kids aged 6-12). The school is set off the main street and has huge trees and a nice "natural" setting with two decent play areas where the kids can explore, socialize with other kids, etc. The teachers are well educated in Montessori and are incredibly nurturning. There are "pets" on campus (birds) and music is heavily integrated into the curriculum. The classrooms "look" like any Montessori classroom in the world- simple, work stations, Montessori materials. The program is entirely in Spanish, but that was ok for us since we speak English at home. Pre-Escolar is centrally located between Las Praderas and Piatini, so traffic is relatively manageable. - Jul 2015
