In either of the two locations you have lived, have you considered or researched the public school options? We are considering the Bucerias location, and we have lived in MX before, but I am wondering about senior year at a public school. I have put my children in private before because I knew they would re-enter US schools and I wanted them to continue in English as well as Spanish. But for senior year I am curious about the public high school option in the Nayarit area specifically. But if you have any info on the elementary public school in Nayarit I would enjoy hearing that as well. Thanks in advance! Jenna
Hi Jenna,
We have always gone the private school route.
I do not have any information on the public schools in Nayarit but perhaps some of the local Facebook groups would be helpful. There is one called Mamas in PV that might be a good place to post your questions.
Best of luck!
Regards,
Katie
