Tuition increase email came out. Holton next year will be $60,535 for all grades. Any other schools cross the $60k threshold?? Woof.

Based on recent rankings and tuition data, top-tier private universities with tuition/fees in that vicinity include:
Harvard University: Reported one of the lower tuition rates among top-tier schools, with 2025–2026 tuition around $59,320 (though total cost of attendance is higher).
Yale University: Tuition and fees for the 2024–2025 period were reported in the $60,000–$67,000 range.
Stanford University: Tuition and fees for 2024–2025 were approximately $65,910.
University of Pennsylvania: Tuition and fees for 2024–2025 were approximately $66,104.

It would be interesting to see the year after year increase. Oh wait, I can do that

2025–26 $57,875
2024–25 ~$55,250
2022–23 $50,375
2020–21 ~$50,000
2019–20 ~$48,000–$50,000
2018–19 ~$45,000–$48,000
2016–17 ~$40,000–$45,000 (estimate) Earlier private school rankings list Holton tuition as “a little over $40,000” in 2019 reports (likely similar for 2016–17).
~2010–11 ~$28,000–$30,000 A 2009 Washingtonian guide lists Holton around $28,150–$29,450 for that era.

A number of schools were in the 58-59K range this year so I would imagine Holton won't be the only one, but it's a lot of money for sure!

Considering the waitlist is a mile long I’d guess a lot of people disagree with you.

It must be nice to be able to afford that kind of tuition for your child.

I’m the OP. We can afford it but it’s still a lot of money no matter how much money you have! But I do feel very lucky that we don’t feel stressed about it on a day to day basis.

I suppose they will still have willing customers even when tuition is $100K. Too many rich folks here.

LOL not that poster, but one has to be financially stupid to pay $60,000 a year for Holton or any private.

Learn financial responsiblity and get back to the the rest of us that can do math.

I can easily afford this never would pay that for Holton. Two of mine went to Phillips Exeter hence I understand the finances here. My other kids went to a W school at MCPS excellent education same college outcomes.
