Our family is moving to the area in Septermber and would like some inside info on the school system. My daughter is 5, and son is 3. We are going to be living at Puerta Privada and would like to find something that will be great for our children.

Thanks,

Stephen

Our family is very excited about the move. My wife, Maria, is from the Aconchi area (along Rio Sonora) and she has not been able to see them for six years. Living on the beach again has been a goal for some time, so we are looking at the move as the reward for a ton of sacrifice.

Our daughter, Sonia, is about to finish her 2nd year of Pre-K, and we are looking for a good place for her to grow. We would like to find a school that is split between english and spanish. Do any of you have any ideas?

Thank You!

~ ~ ~ You need to provide your children with an education that will allow them to be self-sustaining in the 21st century.
~ ~ ~ Students become adequately educated citizens when they are at least proficient in the English language, mathematics, science, health, personal finance, use of computers, cultural history, and civics and they have demonstrated the ability to think critically.
~ ~ ~ To provide that you MUST keep them in the USA for their education and well being,``` if you do not provide this, as american citizen's, ( I assume they are ? ) they deserve nothing less, ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ Then you run the risk of them, ( & rightfully so ) holding it against you forever,

~ ~ ~ Penasco is NOT the place, ~ ~ ~ not in this day & age ! ! !

~ ~ ~ Good buddy, this is some good, sane advice ~ ~ ~ Don't handicap, & stop your kids before they even get started, ~ ~ ~

Yes, good advice from Happy to consider if you hope your children will take the academic route, college and all. Sorry but unless you are willing to supplement their education, what is available in Penasco is inadequate. This particularly so as they get into middle and high school. Social issues will be problematic as well. Of course they should be 100% fluent in Spanish and English. Be prepared also to get your children's health care in the US.

I dunno, I was educated in the US but even with a calculator I can't figure out how the daughter is 5 and son is 3 but mom hasn't seen either in 6 years. (Did you maybe mean to type six months?)

I don't know much about Mexican schools except that I've heard they are free and available to everyone, and that they don't do a bad job with the younger kids. However, they don't teach all the kids English from an early age like European countries do (English being the international language of business and therefore considered a basic necessity for success in many fields). I consider this a major failing on Mexico's part. This isn't nativism talking, just a practical observation. Considering the US role as trading partners and tourists, the benefits of English fluency should be pretty obvious.

My wife has not seen HER family in six years...her family in Mexico. We have been living in Texas.

Paying for a private education is within our means, and with the net being such a major force, we can supplement thier education online.

Again, thanks for you help.
