Teeching is based on the Dominican National Education program of Dominican Republic, and then we add a western Europeen contribution. Teeching is performed by a majority of dominican teachers. The teaching workforse is also helped by other foreign teachers from other countries.
By welcoming Western children and children from other countries in the world we are encouraging exchanges between different cultures
Furthermore "the development of socio-cultural and racial exchanges between peoples allowing to enrich and fulfill differences".
We have been creating of a free school for children (poor families) in the Dominican Republic.
The Foundation was built in the Dominican Republic. The aim is to provide advanced teaching and education for dominican children aged 6 to 18.
Our main goal is to prioritize the development of each individual child, allowing them to develop his full potential, while following a full curriculum.
The school is developing the civilization of the future. The children are educated without conditioning (races or others) and fully free in their spirit.
The school prepares students for higher education in order to be competitive in any country in the world.

This is how all the people between Switzerland, France and the Dominican Republic, with different and very diverse personal and professional backgrounds, have joined the Foundation's extended board of directors and actively contribute, through their action, to the realization of what was initially only a dream.
The Foundation employs 32 people in the Dominican Republic who provide for the proper functioning of the school.
Let's build a colorful future together!
For the past few years, I have worked with children, young people and their families in the Dominican Republic, alongside teachers.
What do we know about the Dominican Republic?
A heavenly place to enjoy your holidays, on the other hand cartel of drugs, prostitution and poverty.
And we say: What can we do?
It was in the Dominican Republic that the words "sharing" and "having" found their true meaning for me.
In this country we share with ease.
I remember being invited by a poor Dominican family where, at the end of the meal, the housewife went out to distribute the meal’s remaining with the neighbors who hadn't
eaten that day.
Here, the meaning « to have » means for many « to survive ».
Dominican’s nobility who are silently supporting the struggle of everyday life, would surprise anyone who is willing to see it.
It is sometimes very tricky to hold a children staring and questioning you.
Dominicans have an enormous intellectual potential which cannot always be developed because of economic difficulties. Parents dream for their children to have a better life.
A dream which very parents will have in the world.
Can we act?
Can we support these children and parents dreams from another country?
We have a lot, Perhaps we can we share ?
