We focus in providing an integral, modern education for students starting in Preschool all the way through High School.

In 2007, motivated by the need to continue to promote the strong principles that are an intricate part of our educational beliefs, we decided to adopt the Catholic identity and include in our curriculum, specific subjects as well as special activities to promote the highest human values that frame our identity as a school: Integrity, Loyalty and Commitment. The school fulfills the standards of the North American Curriculum, supported by the Common Core Standards and it follows the official programs, academic calendar and requirements of the Ministry of Education in the Dominican Republic.

The commitment to offer excellence in education granted us the accreditation by the “Accrediting Commission International (ACI)” and the membership to the “International Schools Association (ISA)”; . Both international organizations certify our school as an educational institution with high standards. We also have the permissions and recognitions required by the Dominican Ministry of Education to operate as a private school.

In the year 2014 the school underwent the renewal of its mission and vision statements taking into consideration our community to offer an innovative cultural and academic program based on offering 21st century skills.
