Ashton School is a private, Pk-12 U.S. type school in Santo, Domingo, Dominican Republic, accredited by Cognia/Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

We are a faith-based school that prepares students to study in universities in the United States, in the Dominican Republic or elsewhere abroad.  Students receive English instruction in the core subjects, in accordance with U.S.-based curricular standards, as well as Spanish instruction in the subjects required by the local Ministry of Education.  We are committed to shaping our students to become exemplary and God-loving citizens by integrating biblical principles into our academic program and organizational practices.

Ashton School is centered on inspiring minds and transforming hearts, by providing challenging academic programs shaped by international and national standards, biblical principles, physical and cultural experiences, so students integrate academic knowledge and skills with wisdom, respect, and love for God and others. We do not require our students to be affiliated with any particular Christian denomination, thus the Ashton teacher is likely to be the prime role model of what it means to be a follower of Christ and convey a biblical worldview for his/her students. A compensation package suitable for living expenses and savings potential in the Dominican Republic, shared housing, one round airfare, medical insurance, and work visa expense coverage are provided for foreign-hired teachers.
