International Schools in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo’s international schools are a compact but varied sector where bilingual Spanish - English instruction is common and families can choose between US-style or British programmes, International Baccalaureate options and schools that also meet Dominican Ministry of Education requirements. Fees vary by school and by grade, with citywide examples showing annual tuition from a few thousand US dollars at smaller bilingual schools to well into the mid-five figures for established international secondary programmes. Admissions tend to follow an annual cycle for the August school year but many schools accept rolling applications, and most request previous school reports, an application fee and an assessment or interview for new arrivals. Relocating families should budget for extra costs (registration, uniforms, transport and activities), check how the school handles language support for non-Spanish speakers and confirm accreditation or external authorisations before enrolling.
