Hello Everybody!

I have been offered a job in St. Lucia and considering moving over in October with my wife and four young kids. I do not know too much about the island other than it is beautiful based on my on-line searches and youtube!

I have many many questions, but top of the list are questions concerning schooling, accommodation, and transportation.

My kids are 1, 3, 5, & 8. I see there is an international school at the north of the island. Is this the only option for ex-pats aside from home schooling? What are the reviews for this school?

I will be working south west of the island. would living in or around rodney bay be too much of a daily commute?

Although i would get a vehicle with my job, my wife would need one for her and the kids. We own a minivan in the U.S, would it be worth shipping this to SL and paying the duty or buy one there?

I do appreciate any help i can get with these (any many other!) questions.

Thanks
