Hey everyone,

me and my family have been to DR for many times but only stayed on the resort. We have 4 young kids, and would need an international school for them. Our main concerns are
1) private school that kids can get accredited
2) in gated communities such as Cap Cana - is everything extra for gold/use of facilities if you buy a property there?
3) less wavy ocean (for kids safety) I know on Caberette it is super wavy
4) We do not vaccinate our kids - are there exemption forms that we can get to make sure our kids can get into school in DR?
5) With the covid19 situation is DR sustainable with getting food delivered and are stores open?
6) Is it easy to find/hire help with cooking/cleaning/land maintenance/teacher - we work online full time and will need help around the home.

Thank you in advance.
Maria

There are very good international school here.

Each gated community will have its own rules

The water and beaches are generally quieter on the east and south east side of the island

Vaccinations - not commenting on this

Almost everything is available in store, we have no shortages.

Getting help is easy. Once here ask for recommendations.
