A private school located in a prime area of the Dominican Republic where the trendiest and most elite students study. It is divided into several social cliques: fresitas (preppy, snobby girls who tell others to 'get a map and find yourself'), cueros (promiscuous people who hook up with anyone regardless of their relationship status), vakanos (cool, normal kids who are often treated like low-class 'chopos' out of envy), arratraos (rich kids who pretend to be poor even though they have plenty of money), and privones (arrogant snobs who think they are better than everyone else). The staff includes several well-known teachers like Pulinario, Manzueta, and Polanco who are notorious for giving homework on weekends. (The name Mi Colegio is the literal name of a specific private school in Santo Domingo).
