[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these schools just VA schools that happen to be in the DC area?  In other words, are any of them of a high caliber that supports the tuition?  Are they really better than public?[/quote]

If your child is really advanced and you're very worried about finding The Best school, then no, some of these schools might not be worth paying for (to you). If you want a 1st grade class with 2 teachers for 16 kids instead of 1 for 28, or more outdoor time, more art, more extracurriculars, etc. then all of these schools are 'worth paying for.'

It really depends on your goals and your child's needs. [/quote]

I agree that they provide a very nice and supportive environment.  And if you have an income where $28k per child is no biggie, then yes, they are worth paying for.  But if your HHI is such that paying means real stress and struggle ... then no, they are not worth it.  Think of all the extracurriculars and educational vacations your family could use that money for ... or the retirement and college savings you could fund.  And you might want to consider what effect your child will have by growing up with children who while perfectly nice and warm hearted also live in a world where money is absolutely no consideration.  It doesn't matter in the early years, but trust me, it does start to matter sooner than you think.  [/quote]
