This is the town we'll be living in - Cockburn Harbour - not to be confused with Cockburn Town, which is located on Grand Turk island. Notice how blue the water is! It was simple to locate using google maps, but I wasn't sure exactly where in the town we'd be. So I went to the School for Field Studies website and found some pictures of the facility.
This picture is of the marina directly in front of the center. I used it to locate the center on the map by scanning the coast in the satellite images! See the blue pin in the map below.

There was also this image of the center's salt water pool, which was equally easy to locate in google's satellite images - see the yellow pin in the map above. I'm not sure where in the facility we'll be staying, but it's certainly pictured in the map. Zoom in, click, and drag the maps to see more of the island.
