Moving to Peace View or Freeport Mobay 2019

5 years ago
Hello everyone, I’ll be moving to Peace View or Freeport Montego Bay with my 3 dependent ages 14, 10 and 22 months old. My fiancé was born and raised in Peace View area and but also has a place in Freeport (he will be returning back soon). I don’t know nothing about Mobay. I’m originally the city (Kingston) but migrated to the US at a young age. I do have families in Kingston, Jamaica that I visit from time to time with my kids. But my biggest concerns are the school system and the safety in those areas (Peace View & Freeport)
I’m having a hard time convincing my 14 yo about moving to Jamaica next year. I know I don’t want them to attend any public schools.
Does anyone know of those areas please recommend good private schools. I don’t want to scared my children. Also what are the pros and cons of living in Montego Bay, Jamaica. What kind of documents will we need to live there since we’re not Jamaican citizens? Ummm I have a lot to questions but they’re not coming to me right now lol. I’m hoping I could connect with someone that’s currently living in Mobay area mainly someone that’s family oriented that I could get to know and possibly become friends because I won’t know anyone in Mobay beside my fiancé family. All insights will be greatly appreciated and thanks.
