[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meant to add, we applied late because of covid but friends who applied to larger schools during the regular cycle got significant financial aid. It doesn't hurt to apply.[/quote]

OP here, if you do not mind me asking, is the financial aid similar to what one would receive for college? Or more significant? Trying to figure out if it's worthwhile to apply with a 200k salary (although that is before taxes) for aid for two kids or they will laugh me out of the door. [/quote]

We got aid for 2 young kids with this income.  Apply to a school where you may stand out. For example,  if english is not your first language, choose a school that may be trying to diversify their students.

The best thing we like about private is the smaller class size allows more attention per child and during covid this is worth it for us.

We have cut vacations,  eat less expensive meals, cook more at home and don't buy expensive gifts.  We have also cut all but one activity per kid (covid anyway). [/quote]
