NHS graduates from Santo Domingo and Santiago close out their school year with a solid multicultural education and international standards Dominican Republic, June 2026. – A total of 92 students from New Horizons School (NHS), belonging to the Aluxia class in Santo Domingo and the Avalia class in Santiago, have strengthened their academic path both nationally and internationally by securing admission to prestigious universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Dominican Republic. This achievement marks the close of a demanding, well-rounded cycle in which the students demonstrated the impact of a multicultural educational approach designed to meet the major challenges of the 21st century. The graduating cohort, made up of 71 students in Santo Domingo and 21 in Santiago, is headed to pursue higher education in global destinations including the United States, Canada, Spain, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, reflecting the reach and strength of the institution's university guidance program. On this, Diego Sánchez, the school's general director, said: "Our students' growth is the clearest reflection of our mission. Each graduate carries with them not only a solid academic foundation, but also the confidence, curiosity, and tools needed to keep learning, leading, and contributing to the world." Their journey was supported by a curriculum backed by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) international accreditation, which rigorously integrated Advanced Placement (AP) courses, U.S. Common Core standards, and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), in line with the official Dominican curriculum. During the ceremonies, top academic honors were awarded. At the Santo Domingo campus, Cristina Jauregui Mateo was recognized as salutatorian, along with Francesca Cavagliano Martínez and Diego José Peña Matos as valedictorians. In Santiago, the Avalia class will soon hold its graduation ceremony, where Isabela García Cid and Sheila Isabel Mercado will be recognized for their academic excellence. The school community extended special thanks to the families, teachers, psychologists, the academic team, and the college counselor for their constant support and personalized guidance throughout this school journey. With the graduation of these new classes, NHS reaffirms its commitment to continuous learning and the development of principled, competitive leaders.
