Unidad Educativa Saint Dominic School

Saint Dominic School is a Catholic institution inspired by the Gospel and the Dominican charism, focusing on the formation of compassionate and integral human beings. It promotes values such as justice, solidarity, service, love, and peace, while emphasizing the importance of caring for the environment and respecting diversity. The school seeks to foster a community of learning that is innovative, autonomous, and globally minded.

The academic offering spans from Initial and Preparatory levels through to the International Baccalaureate. The curriculum for younger students utilizes the Montessori methodology to encourage exploration and autonomy, while the Elementary and Middle levels implement 'Illuminate Learning,' a project-based learning (PBL) model that integrates subjects like Science, Social Studies, and Robotics. The school also emphasizes language acquisition, offering English (AMCO), Cambridge exam preparation, and French as a third language.

The school aims to form students who are bilingual, technologically proficient, and committed to environmental care. Graduates are expected to possess a global mindset and be characterized by their autonomy, critical thinking, and creativity, all while remaining grounded in Catholic values.

The school maintains a Department of Student Counseling (DECE) that works alongside teachers and families to support student development. This department is involved in the enrollment process and provides ongoing guidance to ensure the well-being and academic success of the student body.

The school manages admissions through an online system where parents register and update student data. Required documentation for enrollment includes a signed service contract, medical authorization, and academic records from previous institutions. Prospective families can access detailed tutorials and PDF guides to navigate the registration process for the academic year.

The academic year typically runs from September to June, organized into ten monthly pension payments. The school provides an annual schedule to keep the community informed of key dates and events throughout the year.

The campus is located in the Valle de los Chillos, Quito, and features specialized spaces such as 'La Casita Dominicana,' which is dedicated to fostering independence and free movement for younger students. The school also provides institutional transport services, a school bar, and a virtual 360-degree tour for prospective families to explore the grounds.

The school offers a range of extracurricular services to complement the academic experience. These activities are designed to support the holistic development of students beyond the standard classroom curriculum.
