Tuition at Templeton Academy

The price was around $14k five years ago. When we looked at it, it had just switched to $18k and I asked the former HOS about the price shift. She said they had done a big shift to put it on more stable footing. I think they are admin heavy.

+1. We were considering it but cannot justify that tuition which we can afford on paper but would mean a big cut into other savings. I’m just not convinced that the academics merit that pricing.

That price hike means that instead of being a general interest public school it will be a 2e school, because parents will only pay full freight if they don’t have other good options.

Regardless of price, most people are only going to consider a nontraditional tiny school when a more traditional school doesn't work for whatever reason.
