[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, Nysmith is $32,000? That's crazy. For that price, can't you go somewhere good like Sidwell Friends[/quote]

It's average for a private school but I think many are more.[/quote]

Nysmith parent here (6 years and counting).   Most private schools in this area are hugely (college level) expensive.   One of the things that impressed us when visiting Nysmith is how obvious it is that most of the tuition money goes straight into educating the students.  Some of the other private schools have large and expensive campuses, fancy ostentatious buildings full of over-furnished non-classroom impressive spaces designed to impress.   Nysmith has clean modern facilities but it's all workaday and child focused type spaces.    I'm not saying this is the only factor, and I have a second child at a private school that fits more into the other category here, but the down to earth spending priorities at Nysmith have always impressed me by comparison.[/quote]
