School Profile
Ashton School
School Overview
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.
School History
The Ashton School was founded in 1998 with fewer than ten teachers and only 35 students in a one-family house, serving students in Kindergarten through third grade, inspired by the ideals, methods and techniques of the educator Sylvia Ashton Warner who dedicated part of her life to educate children, teaching them English as a second language, while respecting and maintaining their customs and cultural identities.
Today the school serves a population of 442 students ranging in grades Pre-Kinder through 12th grade.
