ANIJA School became the first official Kids Alive school in the Dominican Republic in 1989, establishing a program to support children in Jarabacoa. Now the largest of seven Kids Alive schools in the country, it serves over 440 students from preschool to ninth grade, offers a weekly high school discipleship program, and runs a large after-school sports program for hundreds of youth. A newly opened middle school campus for grades 7-9 provides space for future expansion to include grades 10-12.
