[quote=Anonymous]Current (new) parent here. The major cost driver for Field is the low student-teacher ratio. The biggest share of tuition expenses for most schools is faculty salaries; more faculty means more money set aside for those. As someone else mentioned, they also use tuition payments upfront to lessen the constant demand for additional fundraising (i.e., auctions) during the school year. I have to say, so far it seems to be totally worth it. As far as the lack of APs -- AP today does not at all mean what it used to mean. I would do some research before deciding if it should be as important for your child today as it likely was for you 20/30 years ago. I'm not losing any sleep over the lack of classes (and if it IS that important, your child can still take the exams...)[/quote]
