Quisqueya
A private school in Santo Domingo run by nuns who act like their institution is the best thing ever. They are notorious for nickel-and-diming parents for everything besides tuition, including a weekly fee for the student council. When gas prices go up, they demand more money just to keep the principal's luxury SUV fueled. Teaching seems like an afterthought. It is a massive money pit where a base price of 3000 pesos balloons to 7000 by the end of the month. They constantly talk about an old man in red they call Sancha (referring to the Sisters of Charity of Cardinal Sancha, the religious order that runs the school).
You ask for more than Quisqueya, kid!
