[quote=Anonymous]Your school is competing with the public sector for teachers, so while private school salaries are usually lower, they can't be so much lower that the teachers will jump ship. The class sizes are also smaller than they are in public schools, so that requires more teachers per pupil. Private schools also can't take advantage of bulk buying the way public schools can for everything from art supplies to health insurance, so per unit costs are higher for private schools. Then there are the organic meals, the ski trips (not quite sure what the educational value is there), the scholarship fund, the music program etc. If your kid's school isn't affiliated with a religious institution, it's a regular non-profit that has to file a tax return. You could see it to get an idea of where your money is going.[/quote]
