Palmas Academy in Palmas Del Mar - Anyone with experience? by firefly1
We are relocating to PR with a 14 year old and considering living in Dorado or Palmas Del Mar. There is plenty of info available for the excellent Tasis school in Dorado but almost nothing on Palmas Academy. My daughter and I will be visiting both ...
We would not do it again. Our kids were there for one school year and it took hustling the next year to make up/catch up to their peers in the states. If your children are older and self motivated, home schooling from Palmas would be an excellent ... Read More

Hi Tammy -- No, I don't, but have spoken with a couple friends many times about the struggles their children have had with sensory issues. I know it can be quite difficult -- how old is your child? The sensory boxes were mainly for my ... Read More

Mold/Rust on clothes in Puerto Rico by zguillory
Hey Guys, This may seem like a weird question but I have had people tell me that the humidity and salt in the air in Puerto Rico ruins clothes and rusts all zippers/hooks/etc. I have a lot of vintage dresses and designer purses. I know that I ...
We have fans in the bathrooms and closets and leave the doors OPEN all the time. Close them for even a couple hours and the moisture really builds up. We haven't had mold on clothing yet, but I can see how it could happen! Read More
Social security number by purplesugar
Am I required to obtain a Puerto Rico SSN when moving from the US? How long does it take to get one?
Your SS# and card will stay the same, though you will need a new driver's license, particularly if you are coming for act 20/22. You will need/use your SS card and # more than you do in the states. Read More

sure :) The undertow is very, very strong. No swimming signs are posted at the beach club beach and there is seaweed from the grass to the water. The sand is under the seaweed. Some beaches have a little more sand at low tide, but the waves ... Read More

We have not found one yet on the East Coast. Luquillo is supposed to be, but we did not -- algae is everywhere and beaches are terribly crowded. We collect sea glass from a cove here in Palmas...but otherwise...sandy white sitting and swimming is ... Read More

Also, palmas is incredibly safe and there are many housing options with ocean views or directly on a beach. The beaches are not really swimming beaches though...more like pretty to look at and listen to beaches. Read More

We are in Palmas and our three boys will be attending Palmas for the first time this fall. If you do plan to enroll your kid(s), I would do so ASAP as the admissions process can be quite lengthy and room in some grades is limited. The school ... Read More
