Innovative Learning: Education in Paradise

from PUNTA CANA PODCAST Hosted by Cheryl Henderson

Education is the focus of this inspiring episode of the Punta Cana Podcast, featuring visionary educator Vivian Paulino, founder and director of Pauline's Garten, a thriving private school in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Born in Santo Domingo and raised between the Dominican Republic and the United States, Vivian shares how her journey—rooted in faith, family, and determination—led her to pioneer innovative learning solutions during a time of personal and financial crisis. When the 2008 recession made it impossible for her to afford a traditional education for her young daughter, she responded with boldness and determination, creating an educational sanctuary that today serves countless families in the region. In this episode, we explore what education in paradise is truly like.
