Education

Dominican Republic's public educational system is really precarious and its lack of resources is sadly chronical. If you want to settle down in the country with your family, you should seriously consider a privately run school.

There are very good schools for all levels, from primary education to prestigious universities such as Santo Domingo and Santiago. Some of them are bilingual, and there are some where every subject is taught in English, and in some cases, French. However, These schools are quite pricey, and this is something to be taken into account when estimating a monthly budget.
