Cathedral School

A bottom-tier school that is incredibly tacky. It is full of stuck-up people, cheapskates, and suck-ups who act like they are high-class. The campus is tiny, and the staff thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread while being more annoying than your own parents. They have a minuscule pool just for show that stays dirty all year. The bathrooms are gross, lacking soap or using dog shampoo to save cash. The cafeteria is overpriced, and the uniform is hideous. It is located in the middle of nowhere. (Chopo is a Dominican term for someone or something perceived as low-class or lacking in taste).

Person 1: Hey, what school are you in? Person 2: In the Cathedral School. Person 1: Where is that? Person 2: On the other side of the world! Person 1: Bye.

mc school

A private school in Santo Domingo that is really cool, even if there are several snobs there. Most people there are trashy, but every year at least five people worth seeing join. They do a weird thing called Spirit Week (a US-style tradition of themed school days). The campus is a bit small compared to other schools, but the education is good. There are some teachers everyone hates because they are awful, so the students are always messing with them. They never host soccer matches because the courts are too small, and they usually look lost when playing at other schools, though they win a trophy every now and then.

snob: they walk right past you, pushing you as if you were not even there, and because they have a great body they think they are all that. But whatever, you just leave them alone in their own world.

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.

A couple of famous Colegio options in Santo Domingo are: Babeque, Carol Morgan, ABC, Senderos (trash), Lux Mundi, New Horizons, among others.
