Full Time Tutoring Program ?All Subjects? For Dominican Student?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to help a family in Cabarete send their 20 year old daughter to school. Unfortunately like many young girls in the Dominican Republic she left school before starting High school to have a baby. I would like to know if there are any schools that have programs or full time tutoring that can help this situation. Recommendations of locations any where in the DR are highly appreciated.

she can take her classes.
i am not familiar with cabarete,
but should not be that different to other areas on the isle.
there are classes for adults to get their graduations,
full time and part times(evenings/weekends).
nany for the baby(that's usually the granny's job)
and mommy goes to school.
at the school where my son is here in PC they also offer classes for adults,
full time, evenings and weekends, depending if and how that person works.
where are they guys and gals to provide addresses in/around cabarete?

Tutoring.

Any one looking for afterschool tutoring in SD. In El Millon there is a place that offers help in Spanish only ( I think). Maybe they are willing to do home visits. 809-531-4555

My friend's children were struggling and now they are doing pretty good.

There are a LOT of schools in santiago that are quite good, it just depends on how much you are willing to spend. most of my better students study at LaSalle and Iberia. They are also more expensive (though i couldn't really give you a number price, i'd say around $200 USD a month?)

Then there are some equally reputable schools that cost a little less: Sagrado Corazon, Instituto Evangelico, Las Americas (does anyone know if this is still under the same management? last i heard the cubans left it in the care of some dominicans).

And of course, there are the cheaper private schools. Centro EBG (ArcoIris), IEA (both in Gurabo), Colegio Hermoso, etc...

you have a lot of options. What types of program are you looking for?

this depends on WHERE you're going.

in santiago, you could send him to Berlitz or to American Language Partnership International (ALPI) or the Dominico-Americano.

Does anybody have experience with Ashton School in Sto. Domingo located in Paraiso in Charles Summer street?
My daughter is 6 and will start in August, we have been referred to this School by someone of the present College as an alternative to St. Michels.
Both suit us, as they are closed to where we live, to avoid a lot of driving.

hi Dana,
starting to live here april 1st ahead leaves you the time from april til summer break to pass by the schools in your area where you plan to live and present yourself and show your qualifications to get a school job deal done for the upcoming new school year after the summer break.
in case of resorts it is a similar procedure, you pass by there personally to present yourself with your papers/qualification documents aso to find out what is available and what would suit you/them. in case of resorts keep in mind that they will start to run low season after the summer break, so for that time period they usually are not looking for many new employees, the opposite, many resorts send people home and recruit new for the then upcoming peak season starting mid december.
enjoy the sunday
Mike

Hello everyone!
I ran into this site through google, and I felt it necessary to chip in a little bit.
I am a graduate from St. Thomas School and I am extremely happy with the education I received. I go to college in Tampa, Florida. I wasn't required to take the TOEFL exam because of my high level of english. I have no accent whatsoever. The people I've met are amazed with the fact that I am Dominican, born and raised. Most people here regard my level of english with amazement.

I haven't had any trouble with my classes. In fact, when it comes the basic courses in college, I've seen a lot of the material from my prior education. My college grades so far have all been A's and one B. I'm currently a college sophomore.

When it comes to the school, the director of high-school, Mrs. Joice Marcano is a reasonable woman, who works very hard to maintain the order of the school and has, so far, been successful. Because she is the principal and a high level of authority, not everyone is fond of her, but her merit has to be recognized.

Mr. Miladeh, the owner, worked hard to get the school to where it currently is, and, I'm sure, will work even harder to take it further. One of the things I loved about the school as a child, was that I was never regarded as a number, "One more student". It also does not have the problems that many private schools have in the Dominican Republic. That is, they take into account your known last name and take into account the weight you might have in the political scene. In St. Thomas, it always felt like a name was name and nothing else. I never felt like last names played a big part in how we were treated. We were all equals as students.

I attended that school from 1st grade to my senior year and I had no problems whatsoever. If you live close to the area, I would recommend that you take it into consideration.

Abraham Lincoln School - La Romana

Hello!
I'm an international teacher (certified in NY) looking to move to Dominican Republic. I've been applying to various schools, but am really interested in Abraham Lincoln School. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate a website for them. Does anyone have their contact information?
Also, I'm open to diversifying my resume in other fields. Does anyone know of other jobs that I could apply for as a bilingual Latin American in Dominican Republic?
I appreciate any feedback!
