Holton doesn't charge extra for most of the items you listed |
Neither does Potomac. |
Burke's HS tuition hasn't increased $5K total across the last 4-5 years, and certainly not in one year. (Was just below $42K in 2018/19 to $46K now) Recent increases have mostly been in the 2-3% range. |

Gonzaga $28,240 (includes lunch)
Basis McLean $35,000 (lunch?) St Anselms $35,000 (doesn’t include lunch) SSFS $40,980 (includes lunch) Georgetown Prep $42,190 (lunch) Burke $45,996 (lunch?) This is 22-23 need new Maret $46,230 (includes lunch) Potomac $48,988 (includes lunch) SSSAS $49,030 (lunch?) St. Andrew's $49,680 (includes lunch) Landon $50,409 (includes lunch) GDS $51K (no lunch even for sale) Holton $52,970 NCS $53,208 (includes lunch) Field $54,335 (doesn’t include lunch) Bullis $54,540 (includes lunch) Sidwell $55,140 (includes lunch) STA $55,468 (includes lunch) To a PP. For me, this is helpful. Especially when assessing a school for longer period than just high school. Knowing this, I may take a look more at SSFS, Burke, or Maret closer than some of the $55k schools. Even if you’re talking about middle school and high school. $10k a year with modest 8% return will give you an extra $90k by high school graduation you could have vs paying extra tuition at Bullis. |

I can see that. I stand corrected.
I was looking at it from the, well it’s about the same, might as well pay for the Big 3. |
That’s what they want you to think. You are a frog in the water they are slowly bringing to the boil. They are hoping you won’t notice. |
| I’m quite happy tbh because I know I’m in the best of the best, I’d be not so happy in the 2nd tier school for the same $. |
That's so great for YOU. I'm glad YOUR school is really taking YOU places. I'm sure YOU will have a great life. Hopefully your kids are happy for YOU too. |
The other big fee items you have to consider are: text books, technology, athletics, test fees, and other ECs. Some schools charge for these, some don't. Most of those are things everyone has to pay, as opposed to lunch and transportation which some people need and others don't. |
| Plus donations |
They’re happy for themselves, first and foremost. That’s why we do everything ourselves that we can to support them. |
I can’t believe Gonzaga is so much less! We probably would’ve ended up at the same college if we had gone to Gonzaga and we would’ve saved all of that money. I hear the parent community is much nicer there as well. |
