ISLA Academy graduation ceremony
It is the first school in the Dominican Republic that offers this study at such a high scientific level (in Sosúa and Cabarete).
It is director Sean Bennett who set up this program in 2015 in Sosúa and Cabarete.
Many of Liceo Cientifico’s students excelled with high honors, and received full scholarships to colleges in the US or Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo or Santiago), after successfully completing their studies.
ISLA Academy is a unique newcomer to the current range of private, international schools in the Dominican Republic.
It is the only learning institution in the area using an inquiry-based method of teaching.
