I currently have the opportunity to move to St. Croix with my husband and teenage girls. I have been here on a visit for the past week to determine if i can live here. My biggest question is schooling. My twins will be in 10th grade. I don't know anything about homeschooling and would like them to interact with other kids thier age. Is there a good private school on this island?
How would life be on this island for teenage girls that will soon be 16? I like the island myself, but I don't know if they will.
Does anyone have any input?
Oh...by the way...we will be living in Christiansted if we move.

I just moved here from the states where I was a teacher who was disgusted with the education system. I have been working at Country Day and have a new love for teaching. I think it is a great place and they have a great philosphy of learning. They also have great stats on scholarships that are offered to their students. I would recommend that you go and check it out. Good luck.

Definitely check out Country Day and Good Hope before you go. The teenagers on the island have a very active social network and a lot of activities to keep them occupied. There seem to be more boys than girls, so your daughters would be met with smiles of delight by the young men. lol

Well, I just checked out the tuition fees for Good Hope and it's more than I can handle for 2 kids. It would have been nice, but it looks like homeschooling it is! Thanks for the input everyone!
