For what age? What do you consider less expensive?

Alexandria Country Day School is around $33k
Congressional School is around $25k
Most Catholics, both K-8 and HS, are generally less expensive than independents
Grace Episcopal in MD has a sliding tuition scale
Grace Episcopal in Alexandria is about $24k

Congressional for PK-8

I just renewed our contract, it’s about $50,000. What bargain is that? What coupon did I miss?

Yeah I think SSSAS is wonderful but unless you are getting significant FA it is not “less expensive”.

What about SSFS?

+1. If you are open to Catholic Independent, St. Anselm Abbey School is terrific and significantly less expensive than most privates.

About 37-41 depending on age.

We're fine where we are, but I was really impressed with the school. We were told that for high school, most kids go to DeMatha (boys) and Seton (girls).

We know families at SJS, DeMatha, and Seton and all are very happy.

St Jerome has a reputation for good academics, and also a very conservative culture that attracts very conservative (Catholic) families. That's reputation, but take that for what you will.

This is not a less expensive alternative, it is expensive (and to be fair on par with its peers)

OP here: I'd say less expensive would be 35k or less (for the DC Area)
