Instituto Cultural Dominico-Americano

The Instituto Cultural Dominico-Americano (ICDA), popularly known as 'El Dominico-Americano,' is a bilingual cultural and educational institution founded in 1947 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It was established by a group of Dominican and U.S. citizens to strengthen cultural and friendship ties between the two countries. ICDA offers a wide range of English-language courses, cultural exchange programmes, and academic enrichment activities for all ages. It serves as the official EducationUSA advising center for the Dominican Republic, supporting students seeking to study in the United States. In addition to its language school, ICDA operates UNICDA, an accredited university with programmes in technology, business, and the arts. The institution is also known for hosting professional development courses, art exhibitions, and cultural events. Located in the heart of Santo Domingo, ICDA is a vital bridge between Dominican and American educational and cultural values, with a track record spanning nearly eight decades.
