Moving with 11 yr old son....bring a bike?

6 years ago
I have been offered a position in Nassau and am deliberating the move.

I have some questions and conerns around my 11 year old son.

1. Should we bother bringing his bike? Its currently his favourite mode of transporation in our small easy to navigate and safe roads town. I havve heard that riding is not recommended. any advice welcome!

2. Public schools? The IB international private schools look amazing, but my salary isn't near enough to make these options possible. any advice regarding cheaper private options or even public schools? We are not Christian, so theological heavy schools would not work for us and seem the norm.

3. I have read that Sandyposrt is a great place for kids...lots of kids around etc. That would be ideal for my son of course. Are there any other neighborhoods/communities recommended specifically for a middle grades/middle schools aged very independent boy? Coral Harbor?

4. I would greatly value communicating directly with anyone with a similarly aged son. Anyone?

Thanks very much in advance!
