“What are the best schools?” is by far the most common question I receive from my out-of-town clients. And, as a relocation certified agent, I get asked that question a lot. Since I am a local mother of three who has made some connections in the Poway Unified School District, I thought I would share the best ways I’ve found to search for the ideal school for your children, whether you are considering a public, private, or charter school.

“Romantic” and “gondola” are words that always seem to find each other. If you’ve been wanting to find yourself and your sweetheart gliding along in one of Venice’s storied ornamental vessels but don’t have enough Euros to get to Italy, how about Oxnard?
