I can’t imagine who would pay that much for Flint Hill.

Maybe because they like the school!

The better Q is why do so many schools cost so much? Especially the “progressive“ ones?

Over $50k for preK? Why?

Every school has their own philosophy and formula for setting tuition levels. Some schools spread the costs equally among all grades while other keep it lower in the younger grades. Either way, the tuition is at best 85% of the actual cost of the child’s education.

Grand. So that’s over $60k actual cost for preK. Why?

To answer the question about how Christian schools are so much lower cost, I think a lot of it is land. Our school doesn’t have a lot of land, there’s a playground and blacktop area, but no huge fields, or are areas that cost a lot to maintain or pay a huge mortgage on.
We have a gym for PE but for athletics we use an off site gym that’s larger and county fields for outside athletic practices/games.

Yes -- all grades are $57,850 next year.

Do you happen to know approximately how much % it increases per year? Assuming +4% annually, that would mean about 74K by the time DD is in 12th (applying to 6th) -- didn't double check my quick math but just trying to get a handle.

The faculty salaries are very low at Catholic schools

And yes, the dioceses (tithes?) do pitch in.

Cheaper Christian privates also tend to keep administrators to a bare minimum. They make do with fewer people.
