Hi there, please could people give me recommendations of schools in Santo Domingo based on their own personal experience please? My daughter will be going into sixth form there. Thank you
There are much cheaper options for private schools. My husband and his siblings attended one nowhere near the cost of those listed above, and they received a good education.I am just speculating now as I know next to nothing about it. What if someone didn’t have the resources to pay those schools. Would it work using the best possible public school in a reasonable neighborhood and then supplement with home schooling ? Or if neither maybe better not to move here with kids. During the years Danish expats I kept contact with here and in other similar countries all moved to Denmark after the first years with their children in school.
I do not want to seem impertinent but…Do you have $$$$?Hi there, please could people give me recommendations of schools in Santo Domingo based on their own personal experience please? My daughter will be going into sixth form there. Thank you
Many foreign companies and NGOs pay the tuition for children of their employees.... Along with housing/health plans/ home guards... So the personal wealth of the OP ought not factor into it.I do not want to seem impertinent but…Do you have $$$$?
How much do they pay teachers? Despite MA's comments that some of their teachers would not be allowed to teach in the US..Morgan pays teachers the best/highest in the country and hasn’t hired anyone without an education degree in a decade, at least. They were part of recruiting agencies which prevented them from hiring unqualified people.
No idea regarding any public schools being worth anything in Santo Domingo. On the north coast, they were not worth anything.I am just speculating now as I know next to nothing about it.

I actually think some foreigners do exactly what I suggested. They have no choiceNo idea regarding any public schools being worth anything in Santo Domingo. On the north coast, they were not worth anything.
So my wife sent her daughter to local private "Christian" oriented schools. Seemed to work out OK. She is a banker in Florida now.
The salary range at Morgan is now at a range of $48-$72K USD per year. As with all international schools, this includes various other perks such as free housing, utilities, moving allowance, and usually a free flight beginning and end of contract. At one time, Morgan had a Masters Program option for their teachers in conjunction with a U.S. university.How much do they pay teachers?

Many of the teachers in the USA shouldn't be allowed to teach there either. https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=776854How much do they pay teachers? Despite MA's comments that some of their teachers would not be allowed to teach in the US..
Hard to argue. An education degree is valued in the profession I know, but I don't see it as worthwhile. If I want a math teacher, I want a math major, same with chemistry, history, etc. Also a bit of experience in the field or if not at least in the real world.Many of the teachers in the USA shouldn't be allowed to teach there either. https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=776854
True but you do not put your child in blindly and in DR $$$$$ equates (hopefully) better quality education here..

Education degrees typically require a major and a minor. At least, since the days of teachers college (pre-1985 in most cases). Some places are more strict on this, and will not hire teachers whose major/minor does not align with the job description.Hard to argue.

Well this is really it. A good teacher to me is one that not only can show a child how and why, but has the training and talent to bridge the two. In high school i had math teachers that were failed programmers (i assumed because they were poor mostly) i learned nothing. Only could memorize a process on how to solve a particular problem. It wasnt until college where one professor in particular and a motivated grad student opened my eyes to my mind and i suddenly saw things in a way that i had never before. That's good teaching.I for one wouldn’t necessarily want somebody with a just Math degree and no teacher training to be my kids high school Math teacher. Education degrees include important classes on curriculum, ethics, classroom management, and teaching strategies to name a few.
I’d be fine if it were a university professor with no education background, but not a K-12 teacher.
