Belize has become one of the best places for Canadians to retire, hence many ex-pats are relocating with their children. After your children finish high school they move on to either two years in a Junior College (commonly called Sixth Form) or to a four-year course at the University Level to achieve a Bachelor’s Degree. Galen University is located very close to our intentional community and they offer dual degrees from the University of Indianapolis and a Galen University Degree.
