Colegio San Esteban

Colegio San Esteban (Saint Stephen's School) was founded in 1922 to serve primarily the English speaking residents of San Pedro de Macoris. These were the children of immigrants from English speaking islands who had migrated to the Dominican Republic in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

For many years, it was the premier school in the area. The school is still quite excellent, but there are now many good private schools in the area. Located in Barrio Miramar, the school draws from the entire area of San Pedro.

The high school, or Bachillorato, is the primary drawing card. The students compete for a place here and are well prepared for college when they graduate. It is probably the only school in the area to offer scholarships that allow poor students to attend a good academic school.
