Concept
Why in the Dominican Republic? There are three reasons: atmosphere, culture shock, and distance.

If it is believed that... elementary schools will be better managed by the governor and council, the commissioners of the literary fund or any other general authority of the government than by the parents within each ward, it is a belief against all experience.

cherish wisdom:
Escuela Caribe sounds like another extremely abusive BMP. Terrorize and remove children from their entire support system including thier families. Hopefully this place will also be shut down. Antigen: How long has this place been
around - is it associated with teen help or another organization?
Atmosphere: It is necessary to have a sound and wholesome atmosphere to re-establish order in one?s life. The tranquil, quiet setting of Escuela Caribe is set far away from the pervasive influences in American society; the materialism, social ills, negative peers, and the power struggles in one?s family. Students are able to work , play, and grow in a peaceful atmosphere.
Culture Shock: Culture shock is a form of psychological disorientation produced by a sudden and complete change in one?s cultural environment. The effect is proportional to the contrast between the individual?s normal cultural milieu and that in which they are subsequently immersed. A change in climate, racial differences, geographical surroundings, mode of transportation, diet, friends, daily routines, coinage, and language all tend to make adolescents remarkably more dependent upon others for direction and emotional support. This also renders them more malleable and capable of new perspectives. This condition greatly enhances meaningful communication, offering young people extraordinary occasions for making enriching discoveries that inspire personal growth.
Distance: Time apart for a family can be very beneficial. Although it can be a painful decision, parents soon realize this time was needed in order to recoup and heal. While living in another country in a structured environment, teens start to appreciate mom and dad (absence makes the heart grow fonder). Students begin to share their parents? dream of being a united family again.

That's almost funny, if it weren't so sinister. People I know who go to Dominican Republic go there to party! Prostitution is not exactly illegal there. Judging by the rest of the web site content, I'd guess that the admosphere in Dominican Republic is not exactly what these people would call wholesome or conducive to establishing order in one's life. So, do these kids have any contact at all w/ the local culture?
I agree w/ you. Red flags all over the place.
I don't know if or how these peopl may be affiliated w/ TeenHelp/WWASP. I was surprised to find that http://whoamidiscovery.com/ is owned by former owners of a WWASP program; Mark & Cheryl Sudweeks. I would guess that some folks who used to post frequently and read avidly around here would be even more surprised to know that.
