Cost of living in Trinidad and Tobago

I am also looking to move to Port of Spain and just went there to look at schools etc.  My kids are grade school age so I was more looking at that but I was with another family who looked at high school.  The International school is quite expensive so it depends who's paying and I've heard less than great reports about it.  The Canadian school has slightly better reports and there's also a new British Academy.  We met a U.S. family who had kids at the governmant assisted Catholic school and they were very happy with it.  It is quite hard to find out about schools in Trinidad on the web but there are lots there and some quite good ones I think.  Note there is an age 11 exam for high school entry that is very competetive.

As to security - we had absolutely no problems in our 10 days there. Most locals were very friendly. Obviously there is crime there but i think it is quite localised.

I hope this has been helpful.  I spent months on the web  looking!!
