One of the critical choices parents face when relocating abroad is selecting the right school for their children. Fortunately, tourist destinations such as Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo offer a diverse range of private aschools. In Mexico, private schools or "Colegios" are reasonably priced, leading many expatriates to prefer enrolling their children in private institutions over public ones.
