1st & 6th grade - Schools?

Hi everyone!

I'm in Washington DC, and I'm considering the move to Barbados for at least the school year, possibly up to a year. I'm a single mom, I will be working from home, and I am trying to figure out schooling for my boys.

Does anyone have any advice about primary and middle/secondary schools in Barbados? I've noticed that most expats, apparently, enroll their kids in the private schools; has anyone enrolled their kids in the public school system? if yes, how was that experience?

Vis-a-vis the private schools; are there any primary and/or secondary schools that are not super expensive but still good?

And finally - how do the kids get to school; are there school buses or is it up to the parents? (I won't be driving at least for the first few months)

Thank you in advance! Any information would be helpful.

Hello
I have 2 primary school aged children and we are planning a move to Barbados in October. From Austin, TX. Have you found a school? I'm finding it hard to find contact information for public schools.
