Group Spanish Immersion Program in
Santo Domingo, Domincan Republic
Santo Domingo is an enchanting city of modern
sophistication, old world charisma, and Latin charm. In the capital
of the Dominican Republic, superb dining, fashionable shopping
and top class hotels, are set off by a rich colonial past evidenced
in the numerous museums and restored historic buildings. Santo
Domingo is the ideal spot for travelers interested in the old
and the new.
Many of the museums are located in the Plaza
de la Cultura, a large park area where visitors can stroll easily
from one museum to another. They include The Museum of the Dominican
Man, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Museum of History
and Geography, and the National Museum of Natural History. Visitors
will enjoy the fascinating look into the history of the Dominican
people including original Taino artifacts, information on the
Spanish conquerors, and the African slaves at the Museum of the
Dominican Man, as well as the impressive collection of modern
art that gives a new dimension into Dominican society at the Museum
of Modern Art.
Santo Domingo is large enough to provide endless
entertainment as well as a quaint atmosphere in the colonial district
for groups to feel secure.

Domingo. The building used by the school is a recently restored
colonial building perfectly suited for language instruction and
just minutes from most sites of interest in Santo Domingo.
