[quote=Anonymous]I don't see SJC mentioned much at all here.  I wonder if it's because it's not one of the top schools, is affordable for normies, and doesn't carry the pretense some of the other more famous privates do.  Is that right?  We are not from the area and feel a little lost navigating the world of private schools.  Both went to fairly elite private schools back home where everyone just kinda intutively knows which schools are the "rich kid schools", the "smart kid schools", "the artsy kid schools", etc.  I fantasize sometimes about sending my kids to one of the cathedral schools, for example but I think financially, it's just not gonna be in the cards for us.  I am trying to explore what I think of as the second tier schools like Gonzaga, possibly SJC, etc.  I don't mean to denigrate any of these schools in any way; I don't know enough about any of them to have much to say positively or negatively.  Just talking about tuition alone.  Based on what I can gather, we would not qualify for aid but at the same time, $50k+ per child would be pretty uncomfortable for us.  I ask about SJC specifically because we live nearby and I just saw on their website that tuition could be doable for us.  But I'm really interested in learning about the general reputations of any schools outside of the STA/NCS, Sidwell, GDS, realm where the doctors, lawyers, and otherwise elite send their kids.[/quote]
