Instituto de Desarrollo Integral Leonardo Da Vinci

The school's philosophy, termed 'Saper Vedere' (To Know How to See), emphasizes the integration of mind and heart to foster the total formation of the human being. It promotes values such as responsibility, honesty, and service, aiming to develop students who are creative, autonomous, and committed to the common good. The institution operates as a secular, democratic community that encourages active participation and social sensitivity.

The academic offering includes the Initial, Primary, and Secondary levels, aligned with the Dominican Ministry of Education (MINERD) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The curriculum features multisensory literacy, computer science certification, and an immersion-based English programme aligned with Common Core standards. French is also taught from primary through secondary, with opportunities for DELF certification.

The school maintains partnerships with national and international universities to provide scholarship opportunities for outstanding students, including the 'Dominican Scholarship Program' with Creighton University. Graduates are prepared for university life, with many pursuing studies in English-speaking countries, supported by TOEFL preparation and international language certifications like the DELF.

The Department of Orientation consists of three professionals, one for each academic level, who support students, families, and teachers. They provide academic and psychopedagogical guidance, assist in the detection of learning difficulties, and support students with special educational needs. The department also implements programmes like 'Heart Math' in the lower levels and provides university counseling for secondary students.

The school accepts applications for students from the Initial Level through Secondary. The process requires documentation including birth certificates, medical records, previous school evaluations, and conduct letters, with specific requirements varying by grade level. Prospective families are expected to be involved in the school community, and the institution conducts assessments to ensure alignment with its educational goals.

The campus is located on Carretera Don Pedro in Santiago de los Caballeros. The facilities include specialized environments for the Initial Level, which are designed according to the age of the children and maintained under strict hygiene standards. The school also utilizes digital tools and software to support academic integrity and learning.

The school offers a variety of co-curricular programmes, including research, ecology, and civic education. Students participate in programmes focused on social sensitivity, meteorology, and electrical circuits, as well as educational excursions under the 'Conoce tu País Primero' initiative. Additionally, there are opportunities for talent development and scientific research.
