My recommendation
We?re also Dutch and we?ve lived in Santo Domingo from 2001-2005. We were recently transferred to Canada.
Our three kids, went to the Community for Learning from 2002 until 2005 and it?s been the best experience! It is not an upper-class-school but middle-class school so, besides the relatively acceptable fee, your kid will not be confronted too much with the filthy rich spoiled kids you?ll likely to find in Carol Morgan School. (I know, the first year they went to this school and I had them transferred to the Community for Learning as soon as I could).
The CFL has an excellent bi-lingual program (Spanish/ English). The program is pretty strong; to give you an example: the Canadian system seems behind the current level of our kids. Our 6th grader (12 years old) has been assessed here and has skipped a class to grade 8th. He?s still way above average in his class?
The Community for Learning just moved their school to a new location and their ambition is to apply for IB!
You won't find the Community for Learning on many websites: they apparently do not need the advertisement. Their reputation is excellent!
They do have a website. Please check it:

Nice to hear the DR is attracting some more Dutch; many Dutch have recently left the Island. Has anyone ever mentioned the Dutch Association in the DR to you? Take a look at the (a little bit outdated website).

Good luck with everything,
Moving can be hard, but it can be worthwhile!
