Moving to Belize with one 9th grade and one 11th grade girls

My wife & I have visited Hopkins the last 2 years for about 2 weeks each year. It's right on the water & we love it there

But there are no secondary schools in Hopkins. Very mixed reports of other schools in Belize!!

It does sound very much as if you wish to discourage us. 
While I appreciate the time you have taken to disparage Hopkins as a hospitable landing point for those with teenagers, have you additional knowledge on or in alternate areas?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Very strongly encourage extended visits to a couple places to find what you like best. Georgetown high school is not so far from Hopkins, and it's a good school from what I hear. More focused on technical type stuff. So, with teenagers and what you'd seem to want, I would encourage visits to Ambergris, Hopkins, Placencia, and San Ignacio. Maybe Corozal too. I just don't know much about the schools up there. I don't think people are trying to be discouraging. It's just that for most of us it was way different than what we thought it would be. I visited Belize probably 7 or 8 times starting in '96 before moving here in 15, and it was still a huge leap. Way bigger than I thought. Utilize the search function on here to learn more about schools, shops, restaurants, etc. Of course you know your kids best. My 15yo loves it here, but she's a quiet, shy artist, and we homeschool. If your kids are really into organized sports or structured lessons (dance, gymnastics, etc.) this is a tough place, but if your kids love swimming, kayaking, hiking, etc., they will love it.

Thank you so much! 
I grew up in 3rd or even 5th world nations, then continued as an adult, and I do not believe that Belize would even fall in to that category, although I am certain that standard American type shopping, movies, availability of structured activities for kids ...along with food items not being available all of the time, or ever, and a slower, very slow pace for getting things done, along with other challenges do exist and occur.
Funny, I often found it harder to RETURN to the States after living abroad.🌎
My girls have lived at least one third of their life overseas and some of this in rural Japan, where these same challenges existed, along with an incredible language barrier, which would not be the case in much of Belize.
We have decided together as a family and everyone is excited, though with no preset assumptions or expectations of what life might be like.  Just open minds and willingness to accept and embrace new culture, language, foods, people, country, and adventure.
I sincerely do appreciate your input and will dig further. 🌄🌅
Have a wonderful day!  Ainyah
