Santiago Christian School is a US-accredited, English-immersion PK-12 Christian school located in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Its curriculum is similar to that of a US college preparatory school. SCS has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools since 1993;[1] in 2011, SCS was also accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International.[2] The school is recognized by the Dominican Ministry of Education and classified as a “monolingual” institution, authorized to deliver its curriculum in a language other than Spanish.

The school was established as an English language Christian school in 1967 in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Starting with a group of missionaries who were collaborating to tutor their children with the Calvert curriculum,[3] the parents decided in 1967 to hire a full-time teacher and formalize the instruction in a standard school. In fall of 1968, the first kindergarten class was formed. The school was recognized as a non-profit institution by the Dominican government in 1971. The school’s 7-acre campus is located at the eastern edge of the city of Santiago and includes nine buildings, two gymnasiums, a soccer field, and two elementary playgrounds.

Enrollment in 2014-2015 was 632, with students from multiple countries, including Korea, USA, Germany, Netherlands, Mexico, China, Haiti, Canada, and Honduras.
