[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are paying money to a school nobody has heard of, and that has no athletic faciliaties?[/quote]
I always assumed one reason they were able to keep costs so low (compared to other secular private schools) is because they offer no bells and whistles. I mentioned much earlier in this thread that I toured many, many years ago when my daughter was entering K. The small size and lack of bells and whistles did not interest me. But on the other hand, does one want to pay almost $50k for the most up-to-date bells and whistles? People complain about that.

What is the good balance between a school that does well regarding academics, no bells and whistles and inexpensive vs one one that is much, much more expensive, does well regarding academics and all the bells and whistles?[/quote]

Right.  It's not unusual for some of these schools to not have gyms. Butler didn't.  They just built a prefab steal building that gives them a half basketball court.  Christ Episcopal didn't have one either although they've raised funds for one through a capital campaign.   It's a cost-benefit analysis that every family makes. [/quote]
