[quote=Anonymous]Tuition (at Potomac and elsewhere) goes up every year. Your comment about after care makes me think your kids are currently fairly young. When my oldest started in kindergarten, tuition was just under $30k, and it will be $50k before the oldest graduates. Those small increases every year compound, so if your income isn’t pretty much guaranteed to keep pace, it will be a difficult road financially.

If you take them to a shuttle stop (which most do) the bus is free.

As far as other costs, we didn’t encounter many until US - bring your own laptop, sports, dances, etc. In 4-8 a uniform is required but there are inexpensive options. $100 to the annual fund is sufficient and you don’t need to attend the auction. There will be a small donation ($10-20) requested for the fall festival and a class fund ($50?) that covers class parties and teacher appreciation.

As far as the school goes, it is a great school. I’m not sure I would choose it if I was worried about finances, though. There are many places kids can thrive, and this is just one of the options in this area.
