Quiet Campus, Big Plans:
How Doulos Is Preparing for the Next School Year
Each summer, when students leave for break and campus quiets down, the work at Doulos Discovery School doesn’t stop. Instead, it shifts into reflection and refinement. This season allows us to pause, evaluate, and listen to how God is leading our mission to develop servant leaders in the Dominican Republic.
Every improvement we make—whether in leadership development, school operations, finance systems, or academic programs—has a ripple effect, shaping students and families for years to come.
Jonathan Vasquez – Director of Finance
Last year, our finance team established stronger processes and improved overall systems. In the coming school year, we’ll continue refining these processes to ensure our financial operations are efficient, transparent, and sustainable.
Megan Adams – School Director
For four years, we’ve been building strong academic interventions to ensure every child has the foundation they need. With this in place, we’re now expanding opportunities through internships, technical courses, and honors programs to help students thrive.
Emilio Roman – Director of Operations
On campus, we’re focused on creating the best possible environment to support staff and students. At our new property, we’re taking first steps to develop a camping area and essential infrastructure, opening doors for outdoor activities and future school events.
Tim Stanley – Executive Director
To fulfill God’s vision for Doulos, we need a dynamic team of Dominican leaders. This year, we’ll intentionally develop that leadership team to step confidently into the future God has planned for us.
Each year, we step back to refine our approach and ensure we’re advancing God’s mission. Year by year, student by student, family by family, these quiet adjustments make a real difference in preparing young Dominican leaders.
🌿 Rest
After a demanding school year, our staff and students enjoyed much-needed rest and time with family, returning refreshed for what’s ahead.
🧭 Leadership Development
A core group of leaders attended a two-day retreat, exploring personal strengths and learning how to use them to serve others and strengthen the Doulos mission.
👋 Welcoming New Staff
We’re blessed to welcome new teachers and staff into the Doulos family. Through specialized training, they’re prepared to fully embrace and live out our mission of servant leadership.
📚 All Staff Training
In late July, our full team gathered for two weeks of workshops designed to align our vision, inspire our staff, and prepare for a successful school year.
Please join us in praying for...
🧭 Next Year’s Goals – Pray for each focus area and leader as they carry out these initiatives.
📚 Preparing for the School Year – Pray for wisdom and strength for our staff as they lay the foundation for the year ahead.
🎒 Student Transitions – Pray that students returning to campus will feel God’s peace and that His culture of love and grace will flourish in every classroom.
