So my parents are looking to retire to the DR within the next year (we currently live in Rhode Island). They just returned a few days ago on vacation and loved it. They met up with a realtor who moved down there from Ohio a year and a half ago and she was alot of help. My parents want myself and my son to move there with them. And I have a few questions about education and health care. My son is 3 years old. My parents believe it would be beneficial for him to grow up in the DR for a few reasons: 1) they think American life is too faced paced and that we all need to take a step back. and 2) he would get the chance to become bilingual in the DR school system. I think these are two very big assests, but I worry about his future if he were to return to the US to live as an adult. My parents were told that the schooling is very good in the DR, and I read that certain schools are accredited based on where you want to further your education (Europe, US, etc). Any advice or info on this matter would be greatly appreciated. My 2nd concern is healthcare. Again my parents were told that it is as good, if not better, than the US. Is this true? I am not sure of any more questions I have at the moment... but any information you guys can share would be wonderful! Thank you so much
