Same at our school except K usually adds an additional teacher for every 8 kids. K-8 tuition was ~$45K, and HS is $60K.

Bullis, upper school, max was 15, but our child's upper level courses (APs) usually had 7

16-18 in lower school (K-3), with two teachers in K but one for 1-3. I think classes get a bit smaller in 4th.

Sounds great. Our public has 21 in the classroom and choir is more like 98.

It is-- I don't actually place a high priority on super small class sizes. It's expensive and I don't think it makes that big a difference. Sometimes it's a better and more engaging experience with 15 rather than 10. In tiny classes the kids get tired of each other.

Honestly 98 in choir wouldn't bother me either. I've been in choirs that big myself and it's fun to have a big sound!
