Ashton School Vistacana, Punta Cana

For families choosing the Vistacana community, a modern school inside the development is a major draw. Ashton School Vistacana is a new bilingual campus that opened in August 2025, bringing English–Spanish education and modern facilities to one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities in the Verón–Bávaro area.

A school-centered rhythm of life

Ashton Vistacana sits inside the Vistacana residential community — a planned, family-oriented development built around lakes, homes, and green space. That makes school life closely tied to a calm, residential environment rather than a busy urban setting.

For students, this means school is part of a routine built around neighborhood living, activities, and a growing community of families.

Sports, arts & campus life

The Vistacana campus was built with modern facilities, including a semi-Olympic pool, science and technology labs, sports fields, and a Makerspace for creative projects.

For families, that mix of sports, arts, and hands-on learning helps students build confidence, structure, and a sense of belonging in a brand-new school community.

Location & everyday convenience

Ashton's advantage is its location inside Vistacana, with entrances from both the community and the highway.

Nearby, families can find:

• the Vistacana residential community (homes, lakes, green areas)

• Bávaro's beaches, shopping, and services a short drive away

• restaurants and cafés

• medical services and clinics

• Punta Cana International Airport within easy reach

This makes the school practical for families who want a quieter, master-planned setting close to Bávaro.
