Colegio

In the Dominican Republic, Colegio refers to private schools, from elementary through high school. It is where kids, brats, street-smart teens, and preppy kids go to 'learn', which usually involves showing off in the halls, flirting, getting into trouble, starting drama, gossiping, and experimenting with booze and cigarettes. After graduating, they move on to university where the non-stop partying keeps going.
